TN SRT-A members come from all walks of life, but they all have the same dedication and commitment to training and serving the community. Members must undergo background checks and complete extensive course work and field training before being allowed to certify as a SAR responder or K-9 handler.
Team canines are nationally certified through the National Association for Search and Rescue (NASAR). They are acclimated and trained in various environmental conditions allowing them to effectively respond essentially anywhere anytime of the day or year.
