Ready to learn how K9 search and rescue works? Join Paul Lake, the founder and executive director of Search One Rescue Team, for a scenario based on a real search that walks the audience through all the aspects of a Search and Rescue (SAR) mission and how the dogs are incorporated. He will cover different K9 disciplines and the roles they play in a given mission, as well as the different dog breeds used and how they are trained.. The presentation will wrap up with several actual mission reviews. If time allows, the audience will get to meet one of the dogs.

Paul Lake is the Founder and Executive Director of Search One Rescue Team. Founding the team in 1983, Mr. Lake and Search One are now in their 41st year providing specially trained K9 teams and ground search management to law enforcement and emergency response agencies throughout North Central Texas.

Mr. Lake is a certified K9 handler in the disciplines of Air Scent and Human Remains Detection, an Incident Commander, and the Public Information Officer for team field operations. Starting in 1994 he served as a Texas Peace Officer for seven years, four of which were as a K9 handler and narcotics interdiction officer. Mr. Lake has been on over 500 searches, has multiple finds, and has been classified as an expert witness regarding K9 detection of human remains in the Texas criminal court system. In 2014 he completed serving his fourth year on the Board of Directors for NASAR (National Assoc. for Search and Rescue).
