As a result of recent terrorist threats, natural disasters and unfortunately the increasing rate of missing victims of crime including children, the team has identified the need for specialist search dogs.

The team is currently involved in three areas. Our main areas of work include the following;

a) Water Search Dogs. We currently have 2 qualified dogs and 3 handlers trained to search on and around water. To find out more click here.

b) We have a qualified human remains / cadaver detection team consisting of 4 dogs and 4 handlers. We're the only specialised team in Wales to be able to carry out this type of work. To find out more about this project, click here.

c) Running alongside the K9 Water Search Project, GRS has started to develop a Water Rescue Team, registered with DEFRA as a Flood Rescue Asset. Read the full details here.

With the specialities within GRS, we also have a capability of deploying abroad to search for missing people. Whether the missing person is a British Citizen or a member of the local population, we can be contacted for advice or support. Please contact our Team Leaders.
