Lost Person Behavior - Train-The-Trainer

• How much emphasis on urban versus wilderness searches?
• For about half the course (Lost Person Behavior) the basic concepts apply equally well to both.  About 70% of the emphasis will be wilderness/rural searches and 30% for urban searches.  Among the "urban" profiles, dementia, children, and despondents will be well covered.  These three profiles also are common wilderness incidents in many areas.
•  
• For the Urban Search pre-conference course, the entire course will be focused on Urban/Suburban incidents.
•  
• Will you be offering a second class?
• Not at this time.  In 2009 the first class filled rapidly and the schedule allowed for a second class. However, this year a second class after the first will not be possible. However, we will offer a pre-course class on Urban Search and Investigation.
•  
• Do you still have space in the August 8-12th class?
• Yes.  We also have space in the Urban Search and Investigation pre-conference workshop as well.
•  
• Can I bring someone to stay with me in the room who is not taking the class?
• Yes. They will need to pay for food and lodging even if sharing a room. The rates are quite reasonable.
•  
• Do you travel to put on the Train-The-Trainer?
• Yes. If you meet either minimum attendance or a flat fee the course can be offered at your location.  We recently offered a TTT in Nova Scotia. Call or email for details (contact us).

• Do I have to take the LPB TTT to sign-up for the Urban Search and Investigation pre-conference workshop?
• No.  You can sign-up for one or the other, or both.
