MISSION READY
We are always working to make our certified
dogs better and always looking to add to our tool
box. Today we are certified and ready to assist
in wilderness air scent as well as human remains
detection (HRD). We are in the process of training
tracking/trailing canines and continuing to build up
our air scent and HRD capability.
CURRENT CERTIFIED K9'S

K-9 SPECIAL TEAMS’ VISION
We are driven by our vision to provide search
agencies with highly capable search teams
conditioned and trained for all possible mission
needs. We relentlessly strive to make the best search
tools available for our teams, and train to the highest
standards. Our long-term goals are outlined by the
following:
ADVANCED PERSONNEL
Train, test and maintain all team members for
advanced navigational, wilderness and canine
operations.
SKILLED CANINES
Train, test and maintain canines for extreme
and/or difficult scent detection missions.
ADVANCED MEDICAL CAPABILITY
Provide every team deployed into the field
with a Wilderness First Responder qualification
or greater medical skill level.
TECHNICAL ROPE READY
Even dog teams need to use rope from time
to time in rescue or recovery. Our goal is to
train and certify all members in basic technical
rope rescue.
ADVANCED SAR EQUIPMENT
High quality equipment allows our teams
to work faster, longer and more efficiently
allowing incident command to systematically
locate the subject safely.
MOBILE COMMAND/RELAY CAPABILITY
All of our teams deployed into the field are
outfitted with 50-watt radios allowing our
teams to act as a relay if needed. We also
outfit our teams with laptops loaded with
MapTech Terrain Navigator Pro allowing for greater
coordination with other teams in the field and
Incident Command. |
