In 2005, the Idaho Bureau of Homeland Security established three technical rescue task forces to be able to respond to complex emergency incidents such as building collapses or other disasters. Members of these three teams received specialized search and rescue training, and an impressive cache of equipment was purchased to be able to provide this needed resource. Specially trained canines have been utilized by the federal urban search and rescue teams because they have been proven to be faster and more efficient in locating victims of these type of incidents. The cost associated with this resource was beyond the available funding the state had however.
