The
RCMP Civilian Search Dog Association is a non-profit group of
dedicated individuals who volunteer their time, energy, and resources
to help carry out the following objectives:
To generate
a group of trained search workers and trained search dogs to aid the
RCMP and other authorized tasking agencies in their search for lost
or missing persons and/or evidence required by such agencies.
To supply
these civilian workers and their dogs with necessary resources to
enable them to provide optimum assistance to the tasking agency in
their search efforts.
To operate a
province-wide organization to coordinate and develop these services.
Our primary goal is to
help save lives. We do this at no cost to requesting organizations or
the communities we serve. Specially trained teams of dog and handler
undergo rigorous annual certification testing and weekly training in
order to maintain their status as an active team ready to respond 24
hours a day.
