Search & Rescue Tracking

Our courses start with Track and Sign Awareness, an essential skill for all personnel involved in the search for missing persons, equipping searchers with the ability to detect and interpret the subtle evidence left along the path taken by the misper, with no need to change any existing operational procedures or running costs.

 For those wishing to extend their skills further, we have Signcutter and Tracker courses, each progressively building on the previous learning, up to  managing multiple tracking teams.

For teams wishing to integrate tracking within their existing operational structure, we offer a consultation and advisory service.

Search and rescue tracking training goes beyond theory; it’s a hands-on experience that challenges you physically and mentally.
