Ground Team
Ground team is the base of the team, every member is a ground team member first and foremost. From there, team members can choose to specialize in something and add another skill set, or gain more ground based skills. Grounds teams tasks on a search consist mainly of conducting hasty ground searches, flanking K9 teams, mantracking, and rescue/extraction.
K9 Team
The K9 team consists of K9s and their handlers. K9s are certified in one of a few disciplines: Air scent, Scent Specific Trailing, or Cadaver (Land and Water). The K9 teams primary responsibility on searches is to assist the main K9 team with what they need to deploy their K9 effectively. They are also very good flankers, and will still operate as a ground team member as needed.
Search Management
Search management is a vital part of running a search. With a well managed search, the chances for quickly finding the subject greatly increase. With understanding of setting up a search map and using Lost person behavior to do that effectively, our search management experts are a vital asset to the team.
Medical/Rapid Intervention Team
The medical team consists of more professionally trained and certified individuals. The medical team is a new concept and increases our safety while on a search since the RIT stands ready to respond and evacuate an injured team member or subject at a moments notice while assisting with IC in the meantime.
