Workshops and Events
CLSAR trains weekly. If you are interested in attending a training, please contact us as schedules can change on short notice.
We are involved in our community not only with our search work, which is our primary mission, but also by doing demonstrations, presentations, and teaching others “How to Stay Found”. If you are interested in having us do a demo for your organization, please let us know through our Contact Us page.
Additionally, we also host SAR-related training activities every year for SAR units across our region. This includes K9 SAR specific training, as well as other opportunities such as CPR/FA, NASAR SAR Tech II, etc.
