SAR TECH III STUDY GUIDE EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS
The incident commander - ✅✅the general briefing is critical to creating a
common operational picture of the incident. This briefing is usually conducted by
drive changes in training, equipment, material - ✅✅A thorough critique or After
Action Review is a critical component of all aspects of emergency response. A

In Service - ✅✅Resources at an incident will be one of the following
Last Known Point (LKP) - ✅✅is defined as the last place the subject is
verifiably known to have been.
Point Last Seen (PLS) - ✅✅the location at which someone can confirm that the
subject was visually identified.
Initial Planning Point (IPP) - ✅✅is considered the starting point at which initial
assessment and decisions can be ascertained.
, Information - ✅✅items below are not a category of SAR resources
201 - ✅✅On arrival the searcher should sign in using the ICS-_____ form.
Air Scent Canines - ✅✅detect the scent of "human rafts" (dead human skin
cells) as they float through the air. These dogs generally do not discriminate from
one scent generator to another. These dogs are usually worked off lead. Air scent
dogs are extremely useful in
covering large areas, especially if no one has been in those areas.

dogs. These dogs will track criminal suspect footsteps based on crushed vegetation
or the suspect's adrenaline scent. These dogs are also trained to protect their

may not be always suitable for missing person searches, especially in the urban
environment.
