Our Leadership | Rochester K9 Safety Consulting LLC
Our Leadership

In security, you are not buying dogs. You are buying the operators behind them.

Rochester K9 Safety Consulting was built by professionals who have carried real responsibility in the field and in the courtroom. That combination is the difference between a vendor and a partner your procurement team can stand behind.

Veteran-led. Attorney-led. Fully licensed in New York State.

Security is a trust business. Before a K-9 team ever sets foot on your property, your team is evaluating the people accountable for it. We built this firm so that scrutiny works in our favor.

Field-tested leadership. Legal-grade discipline. A licensing and liability posture that stands up to procurement review. That is the foundation under every engagement we run.


The Operators

Leadership that has answered for outcomes, not just marketed them.

JF

James Fumia, Esq.

President
Licensed Attorney Contracts & Compliance Liability & Risk Corporate Counsel

James leads the firm as President and brings a licensed attorney's discipline to the parts of a security engagement most vendors treat as an afterthought: contracts, compliance, liability, and clean corporate structure. In a trust-based business, that legal rigor is what turns a handshake into an agreement your procurement and risk teams can stand behind.

What This Means For You

Every engagement is structured with legal-grade discipline: clean scope, defensible documentation, and a partner who understands the liability you carry as well as the threat you face.

MS

Mohamud Sheikh

Co-Founder & Director of Operations
Veteran Special Reaction Team MWD & PDS Handler-Trainer K-9 Operations

Mohamud is the operational core of the firm and a veteran with Special Reaction Team experience. His K-9 credentials run deep: hands-on handling and training across military working dog (MWD) and police dog service (PDS) programs. He directs on-site operations for every engagement, setting the field standards our teams work to and owning day-to-day execution: deployment, patrol discipline, handler quality, and the documentation your leadership relies on. When a team is on your property, the operational accountability runs to him.

What This Means For You

The team on your site is held to handler-grade standards by someone who has trained and handled at the military and police level. Consistent execution, disciplined patrols, and clear reporting, not a rotating cast of unaccountable guards.

Licensing & Liability

Credentials your procurement team can verify.

Trust is stated on a marketing page and proven in a compliance file. Ours is built to pass review.

Actively Licensed

A Watch, Guard or Patrol Agency licensed by the New York State Department of State. Current and in good standing.

Insured & Indemnified

Engagements are backed by liability coverage and indemnification provisions, so the risk of the work does not transfer to you.

Veteran-Led

Rooted in military service, Special Reaction Team experience, and hands-on military and police K-9 handling and training.

Attorney-Led

A licensed attorney at the head of the firm means contracts and compliance are handled with legal precision.
