Allied Universal acquired MSA Security in 2021 and became the world’s largest non-governmental canine detection company.
Every morning, Jean can’t wait to get to the office and bury her nose in her work – literally. Jean is a five-year-old yellow Labrador working as an Allied Universal explosive detection canine and her office is a sprawling data center for a global financial institution. She was imprinted on all five families of commercial explosives, as well as homemade explosives.
Her human handler, James, is a retired NYPD officer who says his partner was born to sniff out explosives.
“Jean and I trust each other. She knows I’m on the other end of that leash and that we have an important job to do. We work in a very fluid environment that requires screening of all incoming deliveries, vehicles and guests. It can be demanding, but Jean has incredible stamina. We also conduct exterior perimeter and interior sweeps – that’s her favorite because the employees always greet her with a big smile. She loves people,” said James.
