Search Dog Unit
Handlers lead highly trained dogs in
scent search operations for tracking a subject; help to establish where a subject has been or is going. Working with scent articles provided for identification of a subject requires constant training for both the dogs and the handlers. Training takes place within the unit and with units from other areas and states.
How can I participate?
There is always a need for
trained and dedicated volunteers to participate in search and rescue
missions. Specific unit training is required in addition to a 16 hour
Basic Search & Rescue Academy given by the Sheriff's Office.
