Lost Person Behavior
April 17-19, 2026 Campbell County Fire Training Center

Highland Heights, KY 41076

Course Description:
Lost person behavior is the cornerstone of search and rescue efforts. Based upon a landmark study, this class is the definitive guide to solving the puzzle of where a lost person might be found. 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 course delivers what search managers need. Training begins Friday, April 17 at 6:00-10:00 pm EST. It will continue Saturday and Sunday from 8:00-5:00 pm EST.
