NETWORKING WITH AGENCIES TO INCREASE CALLOUT FREQUENCY
Learn the key to building professional relationships with agencies to increases the frequency of a callout and improve the probability of interagency success out in the field.
Why Do We Do It?
Why do we spend countless hours driving, thousands of dollars, miss family events and shed our own blood, sweat and tears? We all have our own answer, but at the top of the list is to find the missing, to give answers to families and to help our communities.
To accomplish this, we need to train hard so that our dogs are consistent, reliable, and prepared to respond at a moment’s notice. We must also put the groundwork in BEFORE a search so that agencies trust your organization.
Before you move on, make sure you also read our blog about building relationships with agencies.
Presenting To Agencies
