Tracking Unit
Trackers assist with their expertise in ground tracking ; footprints and pathway clues, sometimes in conjunction with scent dogs to locate track of a subject. Once a PLS (Point Last Seen), has been established, trackers, who are able to distinguish between the confusing array of tracks left by others in the area, are brought in to follow the path of the subject.
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.
