Purpose
The project aims to establish a national standard for the service provision of volunteer canine teams across the country, whether for wilderness search, water search, avalanche search, disaster search or search for human remains. The intention of the project is to develop a three-year strategic plan based on the expertise of volunteer dog handlers, police experts, Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) and Ground Search and Rescue Council representatives, members of the CSA Group and external organizations.
