Search and Rescue Tracking Institute

SARTI trains members in human tracking and provides professional volunteer human tracking services for search and rescue missions and law enforcement cases in Virginia.

Since SARTI’s inception, members have volunteered their time to preserve and train in the skills of human and animal tracking. While we have “search and rescue” in our name, many of our members are also avid animal trackers or have former law enforcement or military training. SARTI’s members are instrumental in passing on the art and skills of tracking to interested individuals through various schools, universities, their primary SAR teams, and other venues.

We are 100% volunteer. Small donations are appreciated to help sustain training and missions.
