Badlands Search and Rescue holds conference in Watford City
The Badlands Search and Rescue Service held its second annual conference in Watford City and throughout McKenzie County from August 6-9. This year’s event included ground, water, and K9 skill venues with attendees coming from Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina, North Dakota, Wyoming, and South Dakota.
Held in partnership with the McKenzie County Sheriff’s Office, the first day started at the law enforcement center before dividing up into those partaking in ground search basics, man-tracking, and sign cutting while those with four-legged partners met with trainers to begin working on their skills of applying a K9 to a scent and then trailing that person through the rugged and challenging outdoors through private ranch property.
