Members of the Missouri Valley Search and Rescue Team are primarily Ground Search trained which is a vital asset needed when working with any K-9 Team. Our team is currently training its own K-9's within the K-9 division, and have additional resources within the Four Rivers K-9 Search and Rescue Team. Our flanker training allows us to be the eyes and ears for the handler in the field as we train constantly on various aspects of ground search and rescue skills. From using a map and compass and a GPS, first aid and CPR and survival skills our member are trained to handle any type of wilderness searches, in any terrain, that would be found in both Missouri and Illinois, but will respond to assist Four Rivers K9 when requested in all types of weather, day or night!
In addition to our K-9 Flanking resource we do also offer K-9 resources that have received national certifications in their diciplines. These resources are available just as our other services are, FREE to Law Enforcement and any other Emergency services that request us!
