Target Audience: Certified teams, or teams that have completed the Beginner and Intermediate workshop. Teams from local, state and federal organizations will experience scenarios designed to mimic recent Human Remains Detection deployments.

Topics: 6 unique full body scenarios that handlers can search as blind or known exercises including wide area, shoreline, vehicles, primary and secondary searches.   No formal instruction will be provided but participants will be guided through each station by experienced HRD handlers and instructors that will provide them feedback. At each station handlers will have the opportunity to practice their search strategy briefing skills with the group leader, work the scenario as a single blind or known exercise, and report their recommendations based on the results of their search.
