Life safety has always been and always will be the primary mission of our service.

Unfortunately, the speed and commitment of search teams aren’t always living up to this mantra.

This class examines how we can continue to execute a fast and efficient search and the steps it takes to get there.

To breed, foster, and thrive, a department’s search culture requires a three-level organizational commitment: The institution must declare its stance on the standard of search, the training division must be instrumental in implementing and maintaining performance, and the field must perform its one task–execute.

This class examines the three key components to invoke a successful search outcome in your department: the leadership, the training division, and the personnel.

Students will also examine proven skills, debunked myths, and case studies that include thermal imaging video of victim rescues.
