CK-9 Alert call Saint Mary's County 15 Jan 11

We got a 1930 alert for call out from Deputy Todd Fleenor for a lost 12 year old boy in the Golden Beach area of Saint Mary's county. We responded back to him reporting we had 3 airscent dogs, 1 tracking dog and 7 STMs standing by to deploy once the location was given to us. Deputy Fleenor and his dog Cooper were actively tracking the boy when he turned up at a convenience store asking for help. He is OK and the search was called off before we deployed.

CK-9 Call Out to Patapsco State Park, MD 9 Jan 11

8 of our STMs and 2 airscent dogs (Starbuck and Jett) arrived at 0830 Sunday morning to join around 200 other area law enforcement, DNRP, MSP, FBI, LE helicopter, ATVs, bikes, multiple SAR teams with SAR dogs, horses and more for the search for a 16 year old girl who had been missing for many days. It was amazing watching all the various organizations pull together as one to attempt to find this girl. Team Starbuck executed over a 3 hour search; Team Jett conducted 2 separate task assigned search missions. Katy ran the CK-9 Trailer like a pro!  FANTASTIC JOB by ALL!..........unfortunately the missing girl was not found.
