CSAR K9 Unit
CSAR K9 Unit
Cincinnati Search and Recovery’s K9 unit consists of a group of handlers, each contributing unique skills. Every team member has years of experience training K9s. CSAR K9s can perform various tasks, trained in trailing, tracking, area search, human remains detection, and in water. We have specially trained K9s capable of rappelling with their handlers into otherwise inaccessible areas. Additionally, CSAR K9s are trained to fly in helicopters, enabling quicker responses to remote locations that would take hours to reach on foot or by ATV. All canines undergo national law enforcement certifications and complete hundreds of hours of training annually. Our K9s have been deployed in urban, rural, and wilderness searches for missing individuals, cold cases involving law enforcement, natural disasters, and cadaver searches. Not only do CSAR dogs receive extensive training, but our handlers do as well. Their handler training includes CPR/First Aid, navigation, crime scene preservation, hazmat, bone scatter, K9 first aid, and FEMA/NASAR courses.
The CSAR K9 Unit are members of Ohio Federation K9 Search Teams and National Search Dog Alliance (NSDA)

A Flanker's main responsibility is safety for the handler and K9 they are assigned to in the field. The handler needs to be able to focus on their K9's behavior and what the K9 may be indicating to during a search. The flanker must be the eyes and ears for the handler and K9 they are with in the field. Calling out possible dangers or obstacles for the handler is an important task of a flanker. Flankers are in charge of communication between the K9 team they are with and IC when in the field along with navigation.
