THE VIRGINIA BLOODHOUND SEARCH AND RESCUE ASSOCIATION will hold a six-day training seminar for law enforcement agencies and search and rescue units interested in establishing a Mantrailing Bloodhound unit or needing continual training. All Virginia Law Enforcement Officers who attend will receive Mandatory In-Service Retraining (M.I.R.) Credits for this course.

 

Instructors for this seminar include international instructors, national instructors, search and rescue specialists, and other highly experienced professionals.

The program provides classroom instruction. However, the emphasis will be on practical training in the field. Attendees will work with their K-9 partner (if accompanied by one) on scenarios of criminal cases, missing person cases, as well as working on specific problems of the K-9 team. This training could occur at night and during daylight hours, regardless of weather conditions.
