Human Remains Detection Dogs must be trained and tested in order that user agencies be ensured that they are using a quality team. Training and testing are inseparable. Quality cannot be tested into a dog team. Testing serves only as a quality control measure. Training is at the core of the validity of a detector dog team and is the foundation of that team’s service.      

The Human Remains Operational Readiness Test (ORT) provides an opportunity to test a single-purpose Human Remains Detection (HRD) team to rigorous, field-appropriate standards that mimic a 24-48 hour operational mission period.  

Before you sign up for this testing event, please be sure to carefully review the entire HRD ORT testing document with requirements and testing parameters.
