Indiana Search Dog Conference
Camp Atterbury, Indiana

18-21 September
2008

The National Search Dog Alliance announces its inaugural conference to be held September 18-21, 2008, at the Indiana Department of Homeland Security, Division of Training, Mari Hulman George Search and Rescue Training Center, Camp Atterbury, Edinburgh, Indiana. Planned to appear by the end of March is a page on the NSDA website ( www.n-sda.org ) listing each of the instructors and their bios, information about camping, barracks, hotels and other details. This information will also be placed on the Yahoo conference site.

The yahoo group can be found at http://tech.groups.yahoo . com/NSDA-conference08. Set up a Yahoo account by typing in a user name and password. A registration form can be downloaded and returned by mail. Additional photos have been taken and will be posted soon.

For those wanting to stay in the barracks, that information will need to be supplied at the time of registration. A registration form is attached to this month's NSDA newsletter which can be found at: http://www.n-sda.org/newsletter.php. If staying in the barracks, all bedding must be brought. Canines are only permitted if crated due to a bad experience with a former group. Open showers are available.

Permission has been obtained to search a C-130 airplane and numerous FEMA trailers. For those planning to work the disaster rubble piles, bring a proper helmet, suitable boots, leather gloves, eye protection and knee pads. Also reserved are building like structures made from cargo containers that are outfitted like rooms. Searches will be filmed and participants will be given the CD of their search. NSDA respectfully declined the use of pop-out figures, flash-bangs and gas or smoke.

The NSDA, working for the betterment of SAR, in conjunction with Alice Hanan in memory of K9 Stryker, will be offering two (2) scholarships to attend the NSDA Training Conference in September. The scholarships will include a one year membership in the NSDA, the cost of the conference and $300.00 in travel expenses for each winning handler.

Readers are asked to nominate someone from their team or someone they know who is deserving of a scholarship to attend the NSDA Conference. Someone who makes it to every training, every call out, volunteers to organize activities, supports team members and fellow searchers and contributes to SAR in general, but whose funds prevent them from attending training seminars would be a prefect candidate. Submit the nominee's SAR history and circumstances in 750 words or less to Norma Snelling at snelling@olypen.com, by May 1st.

Scot Hansen Self-Defense for Trail Riders Clinics
4-5 October 2008

Washington DC Area

Scot Hansen is coming to the Washington DC area to present his Self-Defense for Trail Riders Clinics, on October 4th and 5th 2008.


The TROTSAR Search & Rescue Mounted Team Inc. is hosting this event.


Scot is a nationally known equine practitioner and has developed his clinic for trail riders who wanted to know how they could use their horse to defend against a human predator on the trail. It is a well-known fact that crime against persons have skyrocketed in local, state and federal parks throughout the country. Horseback riders need to be aware of the criminal element that prowls our bridle paths and riding trails. You as a trail rider need to be prepared to safely avoid or deal with such an encounter.

Each clinic is a three-hour session that teaches riders how to recognize predator behavior, how to avoid an attack, how to stay safely in the saddle if you are approached or assaulted, and how to teach your horse how to help you escape safely. The clinic is an amazing experience and a great way to learn some of the same techniques that mounted police officers use for crowd control. Scot [himself] presents the techniques in a non-threatening way that helps both people and horses learn progressively. This clinic also provides the riders with some real-life experience in a safe and friendly environment to see just how they would react and more importantly how their horse might react. The clinic is recommended for persons who are trail riders, members of mounted search and rescue teams or volunteer mounted patrol units.

Each clinic is limited to only 10 horse and riders per clinic, at a cost of $100 dollars per clinic. There will also be 10 slots available for those who wish the audit (without horse) at the cost of $25.00 dollars per clinic. Morning clinics begin at 9:00am and afternoon clinics begin at 1:30pm on both Saturday and Sunday. The clinics will be held in an indoor arena near Bryans Road Maryland (zip code 20616), which is approximately 30 minutes from (Old Town) Alexandria Virginia, via the Capital Beltway (exit 3 south) onto Indian Head Highway.
 

Additional details and directions will be provided once payment is received. To request an online registration packet please email: Officers@trotsar.org

The secondary device video is available through the Office for Domestic Preparedness.  www.ojp.usdoj.gov/odp

Synopses of that video and two others follow below.  Also currently in production are videos on Incident Command, Unified Command, and Responding to a WMD/Haz-Mat Crime Scene.  These are in addition to the monthly CoMNET and Live Response programs that DOJ co-sponsors with TSWG and FEMA.  http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/odp/docs/comnet.htm

Surviving the Secondary Device - the Rules Have Changed Video

Produced in partnership with the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, this video is designed to assist public safety officials in making informed decisions concerning the real potential of secondary explosive devices. These devices, which detonate after the initial explosion, target blast survivors, other individuals who converge on the scene, and, more often, responding public safety personnel. The possibility of secondary devices require that public safety officials not only look at how to protect the lives our citizens, but how to protect the responders. This video discusses policies and procedures for effectively responding to and managing a bomb incident, and for better ensuring the safety of the public and the emergency responder.

Surviving Weapons of Mass Destruction Video

The threat of terrorist incidents involving chemical or biological agents is very real. This training video is designed to enhance the survival and safety of emergency responders during such incidents. Although protecting the public is the principal mission of all public safety agencies, it is also important that emergency responders do not forget their own safety. This video, produced in partnership with the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, approaches safety from the individual responder and an agency perspective. Weapons of Mass Destruction - the First Responder Video

Being prepared for incidents involving weapons of mass destruction means knowing what to look for and how to react. Preparation means that all emergency response agencies, including law enforcement, fire, emergency medical services and others, at all levels of government, work together in responding to such events. This video, produced in partnership with the City of Seattle Fire Department, was prepared to familiarize emergency responders with steps they can take to mitigate the effects of such incidents and to better ensure their own and the public's safety.

Hope this info is helpful.

2008 Course Schedule

June – Urban Trailing – 3 days – contract class – Minneapolis , MN

Andy Rebmann



Disaster – 3 days – contract class – Minneapolis , MN

Marcia Koenig

This is our schedule for 2008. Contract classes are ones we're doing for the members of a single unit and are not open to the general public. The only two open classes so far is the basic cadaver in California which anyone can attend and the cadaver workshop in Alaska which any Alaskan dog handler can attend.

We've had a lot of changes in our lives, so won't be traveling out of town much in 2008. In June I got a German Shepherd puppy from Jody
Potter who has chosen or bred our other dogs. Coyote is still doing well, but is 13 years old, so I got a puppy to train. Raven is a Coyote clone – energetic, crazy and a handful. In September, Andy's dog Griz died suddenly at 11 from a tumor on his heart. This was totally unexpected as Griz was working up until the end with no signs of illness. This left me with two dogs and Andy with none. After much consideration, Andy got a German Shepherd puppy from Kathy Holbert. Carlo is two months younger than Raven. It's a zoo around here; but we're doing our best to separate them much of the time and to each train our own dog. Both dogs have much potential and are doing great jobs in search training; we just have to survive their puppyhoods.

In addition, I am tutoring part-time five days a week where my daughter teaches first grade English language learners.

That leaves us with little time to travel as we need to concentrate on our puppies' obedience and search training.

If you want a class:

1. Basic cadaver class – This is the first basic cadaver class we've given in three years. If you want a basic cadaver class, try to make
the one in Chico , CA as it probably will be the only basic cadaver class in 2008.
2. If your unit wants another type of class, one of the other of us would be available to do a class for your unit. Contact me for more
information regarding contract class fees: marciakoenig@earthlink.net
3. Classes in WA State – We will be adding classes in WA State depending on what people want. We will charge less for these classes
as we don't need to travel and get dog sitters. Let me know what you're interested in: marciakoenig@earthlink.net
