Explosive Detection
& Counter-Threat Operations
In today’s security environment, explosive threats—whether credible or precautionary—require immediate, professional response and proactive detection capabilities.
​
Donovan Security Services provides specialized explosive detection operations designed to identify potential threats before they escalate, protecting people, venues, and critical operations.
​
Our explosive detection teams utilize professional Explosive Detection K9 units and advanced Personal Radiation Detection (PRD) technology to screen environments for explosive materials and radiological hazards.
​
These capabilities allow us to provide rapid, discreet, and professional detection services for high-profile clients, sensitive locations, and major events.
Our Approach
Explosive threats are rarely handled through reaction alone. The most effective protection strategy is proactive detection and early identification of potential hazards.
​
Donovan Security Services integrates explosive detection into broader security operations including:
​
• Executive Protection advance work
• Event security planning
• Venue security operations
• Aviation security sweeps
• Protective intelligence operations
​
This integrated approach allows our teams to identify potential threats early while maintaining a low-profile presence appropriate for high-profile clients.
Detection Capabilities
Our explosive detection teams are equipped with professional-grade technology and specialized training designed to detect explosive materials and radiological hazards.

Prior to a principal’s arrival, our teams can conduct:
​
• venue sweeps

• hotel room and facility sweeps
​
This proactive process significantly reduces exposure to
potential explosive threats during travel or public appearances.
