Thank you @TheGeoProfiler and team! We truly appreciated your time today. We would highly recommend your training to other SAR teams as well — very informative and interesting!
Today @RICSAR401 had a special opportunity to learn from @TheGeoProfiler and his team. We spent the morning studying geographic profiling, winthropping, environmental scanning and terrain analysis, offender behavior, body deposition site selection, missing & lost persons, HRD

So majestic 😍 look at those happy Tollers!!
A friend from @RICSAR401 asked me to take photos of her four Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers. One of them made it known that she wanted to be sopping wet for her photos. 😂 #SAR #workingdog #Toller #NovaScotiaDuckTollingRetriever #GoodDog

K-9 Diesel is gorgeous — and a little sassy. 😝 We had a great time training today. Despite muddy conditions, all K-9s successfully located our live subject in the woods, with excellent times for each search. As you can see, K9 Diesel was proud of himself for a job well done!

We are thinking of Ms. Ellora and her family today. Being DONE with chemo is the best Valentine’s Day present. Thanks to our @warwickripd & fire friends for their beautiful show of support for this brave little girl. #ElloraStrong
This morning at the Crowne Plaza there was a very special parade for a very special girl. Tomorrow Ellora will receive her last chemo treatment. The WPD and WFD turned out as well as a lot of friends, relatives and supporters. Ellora is a Tomorrow Fund kid. Congratulations!!!!

Love is in the air! 🥰 K-9 Limey giving kisses to his friend K-9 Zip’s mom/handler Vicki at our last training. Not only is K-9 Limey a great search dog, he’s also got a heart of gold. 💕 Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! 💘

🎶 Watch us whip, watch us neigh neigh 🎶 Miss Academic sure adds some horsepower to the trailer. Ok we’re done now!
Maybe she’s barn with it, maybe it’s Neighbelline! 🐎 No, no, @RICSAR401 is not becoming the Rhode Island Equine Search and Rescue (but it would be SO cool if we got to ride horses) — just sharing a great shot! This gorgeous mare is Miss Academic. She belongs to K-9 Limey’s

The @RICSAR401 team is very excited to share an update about Toby — or should we say, K-9 Toby. Toby was rescued from a horrific animal hoarding situation in Warwick, where he was kept with many other animals in filthy conditions. The majority of his first few years of life

We’re so proud of K-9 Toby and Matthew for how far they’ve come. It was a treat watching Toby work today! Several of our K-9s are rescues — we love finding diamonds in the rough and watching them SHINE.✨
Meet K-9 Toby! He was rescued from a terrible hoarding case in Warwick, only to later be adopted by former State Police K9 Director Matt Zarrella. Now he's certified in land human remains detection. We did a story last fall and it looks like time to revisit! Way to go y’all!

We’re pretty sure K9 Limey was just as excited as the rest of us to see sunshine during training today. Is it spring yet?! ☺️☀️

Repeat: all meetings should have dogs!! And plenty of treats for said dogs. 😏
@RICSAR401 held a team meeting this morning — and had a special guest! Meet Creed. He is a 14-month-old German Shepherd and the newest addition to our President Jim Rawley’s family. As many of you will remember, President Rawley’s beloved K-9 Apollo passed several months ago.

POV: you’re a RICSAR team member following K9 Eloise and handler/mom Marjorie to find a missing person in winter wilderness conditions. This was a training exercise, but this is what it’s like to find someone. 💙 #alwaysready #searchandrescue
