 Lost person behavior is the cornerstone of search and rescue efforts. Based upon a landmark study, this book is the definitive guide to solving the puzzle of where a lost person might be found. Nowhere else is it possible to learn about the latest subject categories, behavioral profiles, up to date statistics, suggested initial tasks, and specialized investigative questions. Whether the subject is underground, underwater, under collapsed rubble, on land or has fallen from the sky, this book delivers what search managers need. 

 Our Cold Case Detective team are retired law enforcement detectives who still are determined to solve those mystery disappearances or to find that missing piece of evidence to help bring a case to closure. Our detective team will work closely with the police department of authority in a case and keep them apprised every step of the way. 

We also have individuals that are experienced, trained and certified in evidence and bone recovery.  Forensic Pathologist and ABMDI Certified Investigator are on the team, with access to numerous forensic specialties to request assistance from.  

Though it is not normal for SAR teams to have a media person, it has been our experience that when dealing with high-profile cases, Incident Command and the searchers are needed in the field.  Someone that can assist media without compromising the search / investigation is a must.  Not only will/does this team be responsible (when needed) to provide the news outlet(s) with information, they will be responsible to photograph the team while in training or a mission.  Photographs and video will be taken to show the public and agencies what CSAR can do.   They will also assist the team with social media and webpage.
