KAMLOOPS — The Search, Recovery and Detection K9s of BC, a provincial non-profit based in Kamloops, was recently able to upgrade the technology used in search operations, thanks to a donation made by a family volunteers worked with in the past.
The group now has two GPS tracking collars for their dog teams, which were donated in honour of Shannon White, a Kamloops woman missing since November of 2021. Mike Ritcey with the SRD K9s says White’s father, Gerald White, recently gifted the team with the technology to help search for Shannon and anybody who goes missing.
“We can put them on the dogs and they have a GPS, and it shows where the dog has worked and where we are so we can write off a search area and look at a map, and we’ll keep it all logged to say, ‘Okay, we’ve searched this area pretty hard. Let’s move on to another area’.”
