Search Management Systems is an integrated, practitioner-based program of field-proven techniques and tools.
This 24 hour seminar (with optional 8 hour field lab) is based on the philosophy that all searches have a common beginning. This initial response phase might last several hours to several days. Characteristics of this phase include an emphasis on hasty searching and investigation, relatively small number of resources and agencies, a limited overhead staff, and a loosely defined search area. But regardless of how large or complex a search ends up being, the actions that should be taken in the beginning are identical, and crucial to success. Effective initial actions maximize subject survivability and detection, minimize the number of incidents that grow into costly large searches, and establish a firm foundation for those incidents that unavoidably become expanded response. Search Management Systems thoroughly explains appropriate actions to take in this initial response phase; and it also describes the role and function of the incident commander, regardless of incident complexity.
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM THIS TRAINING?
This seminar is designed for experienced rangers, deputies, SAR team members, land management law enforcement officers, rural fire and emergency services personnel, and other paid and volunteer personnel responsible for initiating or implementing search actions for missing persons. In short, it’s appropriate for anyone who has had experience and is concerned with what to do when faced with a missing person report.

“Really enjoyed the class. I've been telling the SAR coordinator that MSO was a good class but something was missing. This seminar fills that gap nicely.”
“The planning process works! Once we get people trained under this new system things will run much smoother.”
” Just a note to say I enjoyed the class. The course was outstanding and it brought out the true sense of the "real" searches.”
