According to the organization, the scenario will be a search for a lost person. A volunteer will get the opportunity to challenge K9 Marshal on a nearly two mile track that will age overnight. Then they will be “rescued” by the rest of the squad. 

These training exercises are designed to simulate real-life scenarios and enhance the skills and preparedness of the Mounted Patrol team, ensuring the safety and well-being of the community.

They ask the public to give the responders the necessary space to conduct their training effectively. Please refrain from interfering with the exercise.
