Alliance of Search K9s is a highly trained group of eleven search and rescue
volunteers that reside in the Texas Panhandle and northeastern New Mexico.
Our training includes man tracking, line search, communications, and
compliant with NIMS and filling positions in the Command and General
Staff. As volunteers, we are required to have completed ICS100, ICS200,
ICS300, and NIMS IS700 certifications. In addition to this, all have
been through the AWR-160 WMD Awareness, First Aid, CPR, and AED for
infant, child and adult. We have completed the HazMat awareness class
through the Pampa Fire Department. All of our team members are versed
in communications, and three of our members are EMTs/Paramedics. We
also use map and compass, as well as
GPS and computer software mapping. Most of our members have completed the PACE
field certification test
required by the New Mexico State Police to be included in their resource
list for deployment on searches in that state.
In addition to the above qualifications and training, our members
are primarily K-9 handlers. At the present time we have eight
certified working dogs and three dogs in training. Our K9s are
certified to North American Search Dog Network standards. Training
includes wilderness air scent and scent specific, article
identification, tracking/trailing, land and water cadaver, and disaster
(tornadoes, etc.). A large percentage of our callouts are searches
for drowning victims where we work our dogs from boats. Our K-9’s
are cross-trained in more than one discipline mainly due to our location
and the callouts that we receive which require us to maintain the team
in this manner. Within our training regimen, we strive to keep the
quality of these disciplines to the highest degree of effectiveness
possible.
We respond to calls from Law Enforcement or Emergency Management
anywhere in the states of Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Kansas.
Several of our members are past members of PANSAR and bring the experience of many searches to the table.
Our search missions
are listed under HISTORY.
We are
available 24/7 and
never charge
for our
services.
