Frequently Asked Questions
| Q: | On average, how many missions does the Bonneville County Sheriff's Search and Rescue conduct each year? |

| A: | Part of our mission is to conduct "Preventative SAR" - teaching individuals and groups in the community about outdoor safety. To arrange for a discussion, please contact us at info@bcsar.org. |
| Q: | I have a dog that I think would make a great search dog. How can I get him trained? |
| A: | In general, our K-9 handlers are Search and Rescue members first, and K-9 handlers second. We ask that all Search and Rescue members first understand and practice search basics, then specialize in areas such as search dogs. The majority of our K-9 training is done in-house by our seasoned K-9 staff. |
