TSSAR’s Bloodhound K9 team, Maryln Adams and K9 Ike, participated in a 40 hour tracking seminar/certification test held by Law Enforcement Technical Specialist (LETS) hosted at Camp Atterbury in Edinburgh, Indiana (run by the Indiana Department of Homeland Security). The LETS course and test are designed to accurately reflect the operational capabilities of those certifying K9 teams. Ike and Maryln participated in urban, suburban and wilderness search scenarios. Their certification is valid for one year at which time they will participate in an 8 hour re-certification test. Congratulations to them both! You can find more information about LETS here.

Five members of Tri-State Search and Rescue spent the weekend out at Camp Craig with local Boy Scout leaders learning Advanced Wilderness First Aid (AWFA) . The class was filled mostly with Firefighters, EMT's, and other medical professionals. These guys learned a number of things, but the most important was patient handeling and assessment. The course did expand on many of the techniques used by TSSAR, and also spent a great deal of time discussing common medical problems that they could run across. This course had a lot of hands-on scenarios to learn by. TSSAR is looking to build up our relationship with the local BSA (Boy Scouts of America) troops in the area by offering and assisting with these classes. TSSAR is curently working with the local BSA Council to develop a Venture team/crew (older Scouts) in association with TSSAR to further the skills of the boys as they get older. These Five members of TSSAR were also certified to teach the Basic Wilderness First Aid, so look forward to many WFA classes in the future. The WFA class teaches the basic outdoor survival needs along with basic First AId Skills. This is a 16 hour course. For more information on these events or the WFA class, contact TSSAR by using the menu on the left. |
