Premier K9 (formerly Criminalistics, Inc.) was founded by Robert (Bob) Worsham in 1967.
As a former top gun police officer, Bob was a creative-minded inventor with a passion for law enforcement. He created the first latent fingerprint spray, Chemprint, allowing detectives to develop fingerprints on paper and other materials for the first time. In the early 70’s he built the first commercial bomb trailer for police bomb squads and army use. (Which are still being built today!). Continuing to think outside the box, Bob developed the first K9 bailout system (Premier K9 System) in 1986, and the first temperature alarm system (HotDog System) was created shortly after that.
With a deep family history in police and public service from police officers to city mayor, Premier K9 continues to run as a small family-owned business that has remained dedicated to law enforcement and believes in creating the highest quality products. Based in the U.S., Premier K9 has also continued to keep all manufacturing in the U.S.
The Premier K9 system includes the latest design, features, and functionality that incorporates handler and installer feedback. Premier K9 also works meticulously with their customers to produce customized products for every individual need and vehicle specification—so it only makes sense that loyalty brings customers back time after time.
Premier K9 is a strong believer that blue lives matter—and protecting our K9 blue lives is just as important. Since 1967 Premier K9 (formerly Criminalistics, Inc.) has been dedicated to law enforcement by offering trusted products that help assist and protect public service officers and their K9 partners. The Premier K9 System offers tested and reliable solutions to proactively protect you and your K9 while giving you peace of mind.
It is estimated that 12-18 service dogs die in overheated vehicles in the U.S. each year.¹ In addition to losing a beloved pet, the effects of losing a trained K9 range from financial to psychological to legal prosecution. For a K9 on the beat, the car is their office and their life depends on having a safe environment. It is not worth the risk to go without protection.
We know you are not a one-size-fits-all operation and neither are we. Premier K9 Systems can be modified to your specifications and can be ordered a la carte if desired.
