What We Do
When a person(s) goes missing the Police, Volunteer Search and Rescue Teams and other assets, have a protocol, in which they relentlessly and diligently, use all available personnel, resources, equipment and techniques to search for and hopefully find and rescue the person(s)
However in the event that the person(s) is NOT located after a certain determined amount of time, these operations cease and the Missing Person(s) becomes an investigation and if a long enough amount of time lapses, it becomes a “Cold Case.”
This is when we come in.
Who We Are
OSARC is a group of dedicated volunteer canine handlers who are committed to the ongoing Search and Recovery for missing persons in Canada. We assist the family and typically, the team deploys after authorities have completed their search and rescue operations, although maintaining a Liaison with authorities prior to deployment.
Working canine teams come from a variety of backgrounds and are held to the highest standards. The Teams spend countless hours training in the profile of Human Remains Detection in order to achieve Certification through independent ACCREDITED AGENCIES.
These Certifications are achieved in wilderness, rural, water recovery and urban areas. We also specialize in the location of clandestine and historical gravesites.
We also utilize,Boats, ATVs,Drones and other Vehicles. Plus the latest technologies and report forms available. Handlers are insured and bondable and must pass a yearly Police Check.
Our Search Manager will determine if the case is appropriate and if deemed so, will develop a search plan.
