Be prepared before a loved one goes missing

Scent Preservation Kit is one of the most effective and affordable ways to take precautions before a missing person event occurs. This simple tool can help reduce search times and increase the chances of a safe return, especially for individuals who are at a higher risk of wandering, such as:

  • Children with Autism
  • Adults diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease or other forms of dementia

How It Works

Preserving a person’s unique scent ahead of time gives responding K9 Units a crucial head start in the event of a search. Bloodhound dogs rely on uncontaminated scent articles to track missing individuals quickly and accurately.

Using a Scent Preservation Kit is easy:

  1. Collect the scent – Swipe the scent pad under the person's arm.
  2. Store it safely – Place the pad inside the specially treated jar.
  3. Be prepared – Keep the jar in a safe place in case it is ever needed.

By taking this simple step, you can save valuable time when every second counts.
