Keep watching this blog, the GTA website and other avenues for further information Daisy, but yes, there will be opportunities scheduled for SAR Tech II in the state. No dates have been set yet but many are interested.

Thanks for the question,

Mark

I’m interested in the SAR Tech II n I understand that the conference has been cancelled? Is conference rescheduled. Are there plans for local opportunity for testing?

Thank you

I can see the sign, but who would want to follow it..ps this is what non trackers hope to find on a missing person search.

Ken C. will have to use his “large-size” crime scene kit to process this one. I’m working on a tracking stick to match that stride too.

Sure, they follow the guy looking at the photoshopped “giant” footprint.

What a team. Congratulations to the instructors and the students! Now, let’s get that next one planned. Up to date and accurate data on lost person behavior, and the right tools and methods to identify and apply the data correctly is a very valuable skill and tool for trackers as well as any SAR related professional. I encourage all members to take the class and learn to apply the data as proficiently as possible.

Per our emails and phone conversation, I have invited you to the GTA private message board and introduced you to various SAR related groups and activities now, including SARCON 2010, which will be held the last week of January. Please let me know if there is anything further we should post here.

Great write up Ken. I highly recommend this class. The information is very helpful and geared toward the “Tailgate IC”. What do you do when you first arrive, waiting for key folks to arrive and getting organized? I love the idea of checklists and reflex tasking geared toward the specific lost person category. Jim and Ed did a great job of keeping things moving while still giving real life examples and allowing the class to give examples or ask questions to really grasp things. It was great to meet and exchange info with other teams as well. Jim and Ed are working on refinements on the class and boiling it down to a one day class. I heard several folks say they were waiting to take the class again when possible.
