Nowhere else is it possible to learn about the latest subject categories, behavioral profiles, up to date statistics, suggested initial tasks, and specialized investigative questions. Whether the subject is underground, underwater, under collapsed rubble, on land or has fallen from the sky, this book delivers what search managers need. Lost Person Behavior provides the reader with: an indispensable book that can be used as a field reference (special rugged binding allows the book to lay flat) and an essential library reference; the latest search and rescue incident statistics from the International Search & Rescue Incident Database (ISRID), which contains over 50,000 SAR incidents; 41 subject categories, many of which are new and presented for the first time; new detailed behavioral profiles tha
