The below is from July Hammond. It got routed to me because her
e-mail quoted an entire digest file that was over the 15KB limit
I have set for e-mail to MSAR-Riders; I have deleted the digest.

>As a rural city it is too dangerous for our teams as we sometimes must cross

>the street to the area in which the law enforcement wishes you to search.
>We have a mixture of woods, house subdivisions rural scatters houses and

>Even when we were on a search for drowned victims in a lake the search was
