Mission Statement: Northwest Human Remains Detection (NWHRD) is assisting local and federal agencies in locating missing persons and in the detection of human remains.

NWHRD is located in King County, WA. Our team specializes in locating human remains, including bones, tissue, blood and full cadavers. We have teams operational in Land/Wilderness, Building, Disaster, Boat and Shoreline searches. Our teams are trained in Crime Scene Preservation, Boat and Helicopter Operations, SAR Techniques and Strategies and Disaster Incident Response among others.

Our K9s love their job and when not working or training spend their life as house dogs with their respective handlers and owners.
