🚨 Callout 🚨 #18

On Friday, 09/10/2026, while our teams were en route to our Wicklow Pre-assessment Training Weekend, we were tasked by An Garda Síochána to assist in the search for a missing person in Co. Galway.

Dog team Audrey & Bailey, being the closest available team responded, approximately 40 minutes into their journey to the rendezvous, the search was stood down when the missing person was found, sadly deceased.

Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased during this incredibly difficult time. All our volunteers extend their heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies to those affected by this tragic loss.
