ARIZONA SEARCH TRACK AND RESCUE

PAWS OF LIFE

In the event of a missing child or loved one, the public has come to expect immediate response coupled with modern search management techniques from local agencies.

In Arizona and throughout the nation, trained Search And Rescue (SAR) teams and (SAR) dog teams have consistently proven themselves as a valuable resource to the emergency services community and local law enforcement agencies when confronted with searching urban, wilderness and desert areas as well as locating victims of drowning.

Arizona Search Track and Rescue, Inc. (AZ STaR) was formed to provide to the public, trained airscent and trailing dog/handler teams to assist in locating lost or missing persons. AZ STaR also has dog/handler teams specially trained in Alzheimer’s, cadaver and evidence searches.

Currently, AZ STaR has certified air-scent, trailing, cadaver/human remains detection search dogs and search dogs specially trained for water work.  AZ STaR also has additional dogs and their handlers in training as well as multiple search management and support personnel.
