Tracking / Trailing K-9's

The Tracking/Trailing Canines search for lost or missing persons using a specific scent source and last known location of a missing person. Our canines certify twice under team standards (Basic and Advanced) and some also have outside training and certifications through various area Law Enforcement Agencies. The dogs may also specialize in Urban or Rural Search. Our dogs have successfully located persons in training at the end of trails that are over 72 hours old, heavily contaminated and traverse over variable surfaces in several weather extremes. Some dogs have located their victim over 5 days since the trail was set. The dogs can track or trail in wilderness or urban settings. 

   Congratulations to our newest certified team, K-9 Pup and Handler Lt. Tom Hammond! Tom and Pup are certified in Urban tracking/trailing and will soon have their Rural Certification as well! (11-05-04)
