Bye, Mikey Good morning everyone. It's been easy your community outreach specialist, and I am here bringing you an extra special Vlog today extra special it's near near my heart We are out in Charlotte County in Port Charlotte, and we are with the Peace River search and rescue volunteer group So I will get you some more information on all they do And everything that we do to assist them as much as we can but all of these members that you see We're just getting started today. There's gonna be a canine demo with in the bite suit They're gonna have them out on the boat as well. They're gonna be flying a drone They do a lot of different things, but these are all Volunteer-based so they do some incredible work gonna meet some of these individuals talk to you about what they do So just stay tuned. Let's see what we can get into and let's have some fun I'm PT Barnum, and this is my circus. This is our circus But actually everyone this is Mike the founder of Peace River, so he is going to break it down for us First I'll say hello to our subscribers. Hello everybody. Hey, thanks for subscribing and taking care of pass. Thank you There you go, and if you haven't already subscribe gals to if you haven't already subscribed go ahead and do so right now But talk to us a little bit about Peace River. I just it was really brief what I mentioned So tell us what you guys do. It's phenomenal. We are a Florida corporation 501c3 we supply professionally trained Search assets for full force multiplication of law enforcement searches And then we also help families with private searches when they're still looking for the loved ones They have areas that need to be checked or searched. We'll go out and help them We have 21 canine units. We have horse units. We have drone units. We have Out here today and we had it out here today so everybody could see it and come out and see everything that we do And that's incredible. So you guys basically you're not law enforcement Everyone here is a volunteer and it's I heard in January is when you guys bring on new members if possible You know if they're what's the so it's not just for port because we're out in Port Charlotte everyone I told you it's not just for members that live in Port Charlotte. No, it's anywhere We have members from St. Pete down to Collier County. Love it. We they come in and we train them up We have SAR Academy starts in mid-January and runs for four months and we teach them how to be a professional level searcher And they learn how to do everything from wilderness survival the land navigation first aid Advanced first aid and then they have their canine handling skills if they're gonna be a canine if they're gonna be a scuba diver Then they go to advanced scuba training if they're gonna do the drones and they're out working with the drone team and So there's a lot of things they get to do. We all start off in SAR Academy I love that and there's no sort of credit guys. I've seen the smallest of pups to the largest of pups There are more than just German shepherds out here. Okay, you guys have seen the clips We have a wide array of pups that are out here. That's really cool. So you guys are kind of like the bridge I heard earlier. You said you're not law enforcement. Everyone is a volunteer But you're the bridge to the family because it's true. We can't law enforcement You can't continue a search for weeks and weeks and weeks as much as you would want to there is The police department has a price tag and there's only so much money They have a budget they have to live within their budget and when the leads don't justify the expenditures anymore They have to slow the search now So that's usually when our phone lights up and the family calls and says we still have some areas We want to check and search will you help us and then we'll contact the law enforcement agency or the detective in charge and say Hey, we've got this case number. This is guys want us to help Do you mind if we help them and then they say usually they say no, thank God go Go help them and report report back what what you find and we do we give them a full report and we give the family a report And that way everybody knows what we're doing. I love so we're out there helping keep moving And we've had various many very successful searches. So funding. Yeah law enforcement. Yeah, it runs out at some point Yeah, they write they use up their budget and they can still do things But they have to have really good leads in order to justify the expense whereas with us We'll just go look and that's where you guys come into play And so we can either multi we force multiply for the search So the sheriff calls us we get out there with 60 trained searchers who know the job They're ready to hit the ground they know go right to work They mesh right in with law enforcement So they know just what to do and then on the other side when the family's struggling and they needed some help We can help them out too. I absolutely love that. How can anyone help or find out? Can they do we have a website? Okay www.prsar.org I love it. I will put that in the description for all of you below and they have a Facebook page Okay, come to our Facebook page and we'll catch you there Boom and that's it so and stay tuned maybe for the next event you can come out and see it was really this was a really cool event This was really cool. Awesome. Thank you for meeting our subscribers She's the greatest I mean I try guys I try I didn't tell him to say that Corporal Miller. Hey, how you doing? All right, so I'm good. I'm doing great. Okay. We're out here at Peace River. Okay. Yes You have a family member that is going to participate in you during a demo. Yes Tell us a little bit about that. What's gonna happen? My daughter's here. She's nine years old And because it's a large crowd here. Thank you because there's a large crowd here We don't get to train like this much so what's gonna happen is she's gonna walk away from this park like an abduction Somebody says hey, you know come with me your dad told me to pick you up Whatever scary walks off with a child and That's gonna be a very bad day when I get called to one for real Yep, but ultimately probably gonna get called to a park just like this with hundreds of people So she's gonna walk off and maybe for training purposes maybe 15 or 20 minutes after she walks off I have a shirt that she slept in last night. We're gonna show buster and he's gonna see if we can go find her amongst all these people Awesome I'm a little confident I hope he'll do alright. Yeah, I'm pretty sure This water demo they're about to do is gonna be amazing if you've never seen one Here we go They're gonna put a cadaver dog on the boat and he's gonna get out on the bow of the boat There's some cadaver material hidden out here in the Mayaka River And he's gonna go find it. When they get close the dog will bark or alert somehow Let's see what they can do And here he comes And he's following the owner And he calls it There it is I personally don't think there's anything prettier than a good bloodhound when he's working There you go That's where Dama did her damage right there He likes those terms Best shoes to run in, that's yeah That's a good boy, you found her What are you doing? That's a good man, huh? You found her man, huh? You found him? That's a good boy Now what happened was they walked out They left from over there where we were watching the boat demo Walked down the seawall and walked up this road that we traveled And then turned and came back in here through the parking lot So he was on them It's hard when there's all these people walking around And she's been walking around here since, you know, 8.30 this morning Hi, come here Come here Oh, you know Yeah, he doesn't know He doesn't He didn't try walking in grass Yeah, we didn't cross the road, we were on this side The wind is blowing that way So he's going to track down wind to where you walk Especially out there on the road on the outer surface He came back It was nothing for you Buster is just a little big for me to handle But, our future Pasco Cherokee and I'm handling it right there Okay, so I hope you all got to enjoy seeing the Peace River Search and rescue event that was today Of course, everyone's basically gone Because you know, we're always first to get here last to leave But what these men and women do is absolutely incredible I just want to point out, there's Beamer Beamer was the dog earlier on the boat Who is a cadaver dog Do we see how cute Beamer is?
