We will continue to seek Advisory Board members whose expertise and specialized knowledge will benefit you, the NOCSAR member. 

Welcome!

As the President of NOCSAR I would like to invite each and every Search and Rescue K9 handler, volunteer and supporter to explore our web site and join us in developing this organization into one that will serve the best interests of the Search and Rescue community.

One issue frequently discussed by Search and Rescue K9 handlers is the need for an organization that will have a functional, real world certification that will stand up in a court of law. Our mission at NOCSAR is to bring together a group of Search and Rescue K9 handlers and law enforcement officers to achieve this goal.

All NOCSAR certifying officials are current and/or former law enforcement K9 trainers/handlers.  We have several prominent advisory board members that will assist us in developing this organization into one that will be a leader in scent research and assist all K9 handlers in the training and better understanding of the limitations of their SAR K9.

On behalf of the NOCSAR Board, I thank you for your interest and consideration. I am truly excited about what we have in store for this organization and the SAR K9 community.  I hope that you will join us in continuing to develop this organization into one that will benefit the Search and Rescue community in the future.

Melissa Ellis

President
