WHAT WE DO
SEARCH AND RECOVERY
There are many different types of search and rescue teams throughout the world. Each team fills a specific and much needed area of expertise. The types of teams are as varied as the teams themselves providing qualified searchers and canines for live missing, wilderness search and rescue or recovery, disaster recovery, avalanche rescue or recovery, and tracking/trailing.
Noticing there was a need specifically for qualified search and recovery canine teams to locate those missing after cases have gone cold, Fide Canem Cold Case, Inc. was established. Members of Fide Canem Cold Case, Inc. are dedicated to providing their expertise in locating missing individuals for whom there is no active search taking place.
All team members have either law enforcement or crime scene experience and can assist with both civil and criminal cases.
TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES
Members of Fide Canem Cold Case, Inc. train constantly to maintain a high degree of search and recovery proficiency.
Deployable anywhere, at a moment's notice to help locating missing persons, team members must maintain rigorous training schedules.
​
Training consists of all manner of human scent including both large and small scent sources from live scent to cadaver. Members also train on evidentiary sources should the need arise for evidence recovery during a particular case.
​
Members of law enforcement and other agencies are welcome to request a demonstration of our team abilities as well as attend training with the team.
