SSAR provides highly skilled personnel and their search dogs that are available at any time through the Sarasota County 911 System. Personnel and K9s alike undergo rigorous training to ensure our ability to respond to a variety of situations, environments, and conditions. Most of our training is wilderness oriented, as we are a TYPE I WILDERNESS TEAM.

Our training experiences also include helicopters, boats of various sizes and types, ladder work with fire departments, and water searches. We are able to provide air scent dogs as well as tracking, trailing, and human remains (cadaver) trained dogs.

Members are skilled in wilderness topography with Weather, Observer, and Land Navigation knowledge and proficiency. We are a completely volunteer organization that is on call and ready for rapid deployment 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Our members and dogs are tested through various agencies including state evaluators for most of our K9s and the Law Enforcement Bloodhound Association (LEBA) in Maryland for our bloodhounds.
