To MSAR   Thank You UNA  for (The  List  of Things to Pack )   While on

Search 
Thank You  Joseph Huston and Others  With Question's  on Our
MANTRACKING 
Programs in 2008

Yes, we do have a spring advanced  tracking class set for May the 3rd,
"Saturday" from 8-5pm, in Tatum,  TX. At the Tatum Police Department,
they are
planning a hog roast with all the  trimmings.  This class is accredited
through
East Texas Police Academy in  Kilgore, TX. And there will be eight ( 8
) TCLEOSE
credit hours for  Officers in the State of Texas. Please contact  the
main
office  (903)983-8663 or register via
e-mail through the ETPA website at _www.easttexaspoliceacademy.org_
(http://www.easttexaspoliceacademy.org) .    - the tuition for the
class is $10
Our objectives will  be to teach in detail the effect that ants and
other
insects have on the  forensics of a track that is time dated. We will
also be
examining three mock  graves that will be dug up by wild animals; hogs,
coyotes,
etc. Five to six days  prior to the tracking date we will have buried
frozen
chickens in human  clothing. In prior advanced classes this has proved
to be
very effective in  helping to identify a shallow grave in East Texas
where we
have literally  thousands of wild hogs and quite often the evidence is
completely eaten or  carried off and buried in another location by
animals. I have
found in the past  when looking for evidence that many mounted search
and rescue
personnel simply  ride past a depression in the ground or around a lake
and
mark it off as just  another hog wallow. We will also be examining
children
tracks and the stories  those tracks will tell. We will have experts on
hand with
their equipment and  animals to discuss horseback tracking and packing,
K-9
specialists, underwater  sonar specialists, heat seeking airborne
equipment
specialists and GPS  specialists. As an instructor for these TCLEOSE
classes,  and
a tracker of  40 Years, I will do my best to teach Law Officers and
others
attending these  courses how to find our "old" when they've wandered
away,  And 
our "babies" when they've been carried  away. And  those intent in
violating
our good America and her  freedoms.

Interesting and awesome topic, I am wondering if anything like this study will be available to those interested and located in Illinois.  Please inform us of any information.

Particular interests are the florensic aspect....bugs study and more on tracking.

I have been looking for something of this topic on this forum for nearly two years and this is a first that I have seen  any mention especially regarding the childrens tracks and bugs!   Any details on telling also the age of the tracks.  All would be great discussion.

 Thanks
