PACKTRACK for search & rescue (SAR) teams
SAR teams need clean training and deployment documentation that holds up over time, especially when work happens in the field and details can't wait until later. When records live in notebooks, Word files, or spreadsheets, entries get delayed, formats vary across handlers, and reporting becomes harder to pull together. PACKTRACK keeps SAR training and deployment records in one system so logging, review, and reporting stay connected.
Log SAR training and deployments in the field, not after the fact
Keep documentation consistent across handlers and teams
Generate reports from recorded activity when you need them
When SAR records are scattered, reporting gets harder
SAR work moves fast, and documentation often comes later. Over time, that creates gaps, inconsistency, and extra work when a team needs to review activity or produce reporting from past records.
Before
Training sessions written down quickly and entered later
Records split across notebooks, Word files, and spreadsheets
Different documentation formats across handlers and teams
Reporting compiled manually from scattered records
Harder to find older records when you need them
After
Training and deployment records logged in one system
More consistent documentation across the team
Records easier to review and retrieve later
Reports generated from recorded activity instead of rebuilt manually
Less time compiling information and more time reviewing it

Core PACKTRACK features for SAR teams
These features support field logging, consistent documentation, and reporting from recorded activity.
Mobile App (iOS & Android)
Log SAR training and deployment records on-site so documentation doesn’t pile up for later entry. Field-first logging helps keep records cleaner and easier to manage over time.
Quick Training (Mobile App)
Log structured training exercises quickly from the field. Quick Training supports fast entry with automatic date and time capture, plus optional voice-to-text notes for performance details.

PACKTRACK has revolutionized how we maintain our training records, deployments forms, and statistics. As the only supervisor of a 26-team K-9 Unit, PACKTRACK has streamlined our recordkeeping and afforded me the time to monitor actual training and deployments on the street with my people instead of sitting behind a desk. The multiple access options of the system allow me to review and approve records whenever and wherever I am with ease. Additionally, it identifies when and where our deployments occur, allowing me to assign our K-9 teams when and where they are needed most. The customer service of the PACKTRACK staff has been second to none and they have been open to any of our needs. I would highly recommend the service for anyone looking to improve their recordkeeping and K-9 unit as a whole!

PACKTRACK has made many of the administrative duties within our large K9 unit simple and efficient. The transition from an Access database system to PACKTRACK has been a monumental improvement to the many administrative processes of our unit! Our unit has 31 handlers, 2 full-time trainers, and 2 unit supervisors. The amount of data generated from training and deployments with a unit this size can be difficult to manage. PACKTRACK has made managing, navigating, entering, and retrieving all of our data nearly effortless. The increased efficiency not only allows our unit to be more productive but it also adds an element of professionalism with the ability to generate reports almost instantly. Our handlers in the field greatly appreciate the ability to use their mobile devices to make activity and training entries.

On behalf of the Maine State Police K9 Unit I'd like to extend our sincerest gratitude to PACKTRACK as our unit transitions to a new report writing and training record keeping system. The functionality and robust features of PACKTRACK proves to be invaluable for a group of handlers comprised of multiple agencies. The features of PACKTRACK are too numerous to list. The best part about PACKTRACK is their dedicated customer support system. Anytime there's a question, PACKTRACK is quick to help with whatever the need. We look forward to moving ahead with PACKTRACK being a huge part of our program.

I've learned more about training police dogs from Jeff Barrett and Andy Weiman [PACKTRACK's creators] than from all of my other classes combined. These guys know what they're talking about and it works. They know it works because they're on the streets catching bad guys and finding drugs like no one else.
