Human Remains Detection (HRD)

Human Remains Detection (HRD) involves specialized search teams and trained dogs or scent detection methods to locate human remains, whether concealed underground, underwater, or in challenging environments. HRD teams use their training to follow scent trails that originate from decomposed biological materials, enabling them to find remains that are hidden or unknown. This skill is crucial in forensic investigations, disaster response, and search efforts, helping identify missing persons or victims while providing essential evidence for criminal or civil cases. The process combines behavioral training with scientific principles of scent detection, ensuring accurate and efficient searches.
