New Jersey Rescue & Recovery K-9 Unit

Assists Emergency Response Teams in locating missing persons. We work closely with police, rescue squads, forestry/park service, and fire personnel by providing search dog teams. Search dogs are trained to air scent, which enables them to pick up a human scent in any given area. They will alert their handler when the missing person is found. Teams can be utilized for locating missing persons in wilderness settings, drowning, floods, building and bridge collapses, airplane and train wrecks, fire scenes, earthquakes, and crime scenes.
