Tracking Services

 We fervently believe that tracking saves lives.

Every year, hundreds of people are reported as lost or missing. The National Crime Information Center estimates that in 2006 alone, there were 110,484 missing persons reported that remained active. Juveniles under the age of 20 account for 64% of the records, 53% of these below the age of 18. 
 
We frequently hear reports about children who become separated from their families, hunters who become disoriented in the woods, or someone who simply goes out for a walk and doesn't come back. Too often we hear these stories ending in tragedy, or perhaps worse, they just never learn what happened to the missing person, leaving the family forever unknowing. With a well-trained tracking team utilizing the pressure release system, a person's chances of successful recovery improve dramatically.

By following in the footsteps of the native trackers of the past, Tracker SFI is proud to put these ancient skills to use in finding those that need our help or by aiding in the capture of those that pose a threat to our communities. There is presently an enormous need in our society for both trackers and those that can bring a greater awareness of tracking into our culture, and we seek to fill this need through a dedicated and professional tracking presence.

SERVICES

The Tracker SFI team can be dispatched to assist law enforcement, homeland security, search and rescue or other related organizations with:


Tracking of missing persons or fugitives.

  • Our professional team will put their unique skills to use to assist you with your efforts to recover lost or missing individuals. Evidence provided through the tracks can sometimes provide leads not available through more conventional search methods.
  • Our team can work effectively within your command structure.
  • The earlier we can be called into a search, the more effective our techniques will be but even with delay, we may be able to provide fresh insight into a missing person situation.

 

Forensic review of track evidence at crime scenes.

  • By reading pressure releases, even individual tracks can provide valuable information.
  • As possible, a Tracker SFI team member can be called to review tracks on site. In some cases, even photographs of tracks can be utilized for pressure release analysis.

Although these services are offered free of charge, contracting agencies may be responsible for travel, lodging and food expenses if outside our local service region.

"When we track, we pick up a string. At the far end of that string a being is moving, existing, still connected to the track that we gaze upon. The animal's movement is still contained in that track, along with the smallest of external and internal details. 

As we follow these tracks, we begin to become the very animal we track. Our awareness expands from the animal we have become to the landscape it reacted to and is played by. We feel the influence of all things that surround us and our awareness expands from our consciousness to the mind of the animal and finally to the very cosmos.

In tracking and awareness, then, there can never be a seperation. One without the other is but half a story, and incomplete picture, thus an incomplete understanding. It is the track that connects us to that grand consciousness and expands us to limitless horizons."
