Who We Are
OSARC is a group of dedicated volunteer canine handlers who are committed to the ongoing search for missing persons in Ontario.
Working canine teams come from a variety of backgrounds and are held to the highest standards through independent certifications. Our team spend countless hours on training and education so when we are called upon, we are prepared.
Handlers are insured and bondable.
Our canine partners are certified in human remains detection for wilderness, rural, water recovery, cold case, forensic and historic remains. Typically, the team deploys after authorities have completed their investigation. If it’s an active case, written permission to search must be obtained from authorities prior to deployment.
Our Search Manager will determine if the case is appropriate and if deemed so, will develop a search plan.
Searches are performed using GPS technology and a report is provided post-search.
The OSARC team is based in Ontario and is prepared to travel.
