Who we are
Our mission is to provide, at no cost, trained search and rescue personnel and canines to assist law enforcement agencies in Vermont and New Hampshire. We work alongside these agencies to support their efforts in locating lost and missing persons, ensuring that every search operation is as effective and efficient as possible.
What We Do
With over 40 years of experience searching in New England, our team members are highly trained and equipped to respond to lost person incidents, ranging from urban environments to the most rugged terrains.
Our canine team members are trained to detect live human scent and human remains. Whether the individual is buried beneath debris, snow, or submerged in water, our work helps bring closure to families during difficult times.
We also assist law enforcement in cases involving long deceased individuals and finding evidence at crime scenes. Our dogs are trained to search in any weather conditions and to methodically search building interiors.
We do extensive training to ensure our canines are prepared for any and all search scenarios. They are confident being deployed by any means including by boat or helicopter and working alongside drones and other search resources. This ensures that every moment counts, greatly enhancing the efficiency of the recovery process and providing vital support during critical moments.
