Certified
K-9 Teams
NESAR offers
air-scenting and man-tracking K-9 Teams for
wilderness, disaster, water and cadaver search missions. Our K-9 Teams are certified to meet or exceed
guidelines set forth by the National Association for Search and Rescue (NASAR) and
the Pennsylvania Search and Rescue Council (PSARC). SAR K-9 Teams are capable of covering large areas
in a fraction of
the time required by groups of grid searchers, with a high probability of
detection (POD). This is especially valuable during "high
priority" searches; when the search subject is evasive or unresponsive; or
when field grid searchers are not available in large numbers. Our
K-9 Teams are capable of working during both day and night missions, in
most types of weather and terrain, and can be deployed within minutes of an agency's request.
