Mounted search and rescue

[ALLEN SNYDER <allendana1@sbcglobal.net>]

Does anyone know who the state agency responsible for SAR in Kansas is?  To my knowledge, the only SAR units are in Topeka and a sherriff's posse in Salina.  The Topeka unit has a canine division, but not MSAR.  They have encouraged me to visit and see how they train on weekends..

The next nearest working unit to Kansas City is the Jackson County Sherriff's Posse in Missouri and they have offered to help train a new group if it can get established.  The KCMO Police Department has a mounted patrol, but I do not know if they also do SAR.  Thank you.  Dana Snyder
