PROFESSIONAL SEARCH and RESCUE SPECIALIST (PSRS) - High Risk Team Leader - Fugitive ReCovery

Natural disasters, terrorist attacks, civil wars, and crime highlight the increasing need for emergency preparedness, both for private travelers and businesses. Globalization and climate change have further exacerbated these challenges. The frequency of incidents that place people in emergency situations is rising dramatically. Companies operating in high-risk regions or sending employees to such areas must be prepared for these scenarios. Even in Europe, crises can arise where official aid may not always function smoothly or quickly in every EU country.

This underscores the importance of private specialists who can provide competent assistance to individuals and businesses in emergencies through search and rescue operations. BSA and the Brillstein Security Group have utilized such specialists for years in areas such as emergency rescue, emergency extraction, crisis management, and missing person searches. We have now developed a specialized and comprehensive training program tailored to this field.

A PSRS—Professional Search and Rescue Specialist—is a trained expert in areas such as:

• Searching for and rescuing individuals in emergencies worldwide, including natural disasters, conflict zones, civil wars, terrorist attacks, uprisings, crimes, and health crises—even in the most challenging circumstances.
• Tracking and locating individuals.
• Bail bond investigations, "bounty hunting," and fugitive recovery. Our specialists in the U.S. and internationally track fugitives for bail bond agencies and other clients, ensuring they are returned to authorities—targeted manhunts.
• Repatriating individuals after emergency rescues.
• Providing disaster relief when official assistance is delayed or unavailable, including medical aid, water, electricity, food supplies, logistics, and transportation.
• Conducting searches for missing persons anywhere in the world.
• Supporting crisis management and intervention efforts.
• Serving as dog handlers (specializing in search, protection, and explosive detection dogs).
• Specialized training in mountain rescue, equestrian logistics, transportation, and technical support.
• Theoretical training includes components of the PASO course.

PSRS experts from Brillstein specialize in locating missing individuals, whether they are lost, unaccounted for, or in distress. These professionals are skilled trackers, self-defense experts, and survival specialists. They are trained in emergency medicine and possess psychological skills to assist people in even the most adverse conditions and at the most remote locations worldwide. PSRS operatives primarily work in civilian sectors but are also deployed as part of BRILLSTEIN's specialized teams, such as the ERT. A particularly intriguing area involves tracking fugitives, which Brillstein teams conduct internationally and within the U.S. (bail enforcement, fugitive recovery, "bounty hunting"). PSRS operatives are both adept trackers and experienced fugitive hunters, skilled in understanding how people attempt to "disappear" and locating missing individuals.
