Drugbeat Certifications was formed about 10 years ago by Jim Hornbeck. The company was formed with a dual purpose in mind.
First, the he wanted to make sure that certifications are available to both Law Enforcement and Private Security/Training Centers. Before Drugbeat came along K-9 certifications were available only for Law Officers through various state and private organizations. Drugbeat now has over 30 certifying agents across the United States, Canada, UK and Costa Rica. Our certifying agents perform K-9 certifications for narcotics, explosives, cadaver, and arson detection as well as patrol and tracking. Our standards are as strict or stricter than other certification agencys so you know that your K-9 is among the best in the country. All of our agents are thoroughly screened and licenced officers, K-9 trainers or both. All are willing and able to testify in court as expert witnesses if necessary.
Drugbeat's 2nd purpose is to inform and educate the law enforcement community through message boards that allow officers to communicate and educate each other in matters of drug interdiction, K-9 issues, and any other issues that pertain solely within the law enforcement community. All members of the Drugbeat message boards must go through an application process which includes verification that they are infact a law officer. This is done to ensure that the confidential conversations stay confidential.
If you have any questions or comments about Drugbeat, our certification standards or our agents please feel free to contact Gary LaFollette at 417-353-1596 or by e-mail at gdl040257@aol.com
