     Dear Friends,

we are the SICS Scuola Italiana Cani Salvataggio (The Italian School of Water Rescue Dogs)
You might already know the activities we are performing in our school; here is a concise list of what we do:

Management of over 350 K9 units, handlers and dogs; both are requested to renew their certificate on yearly basis.
21 people saved in 2011 to date, 14 people in 2010, over 100 in the last few years.
Our dogs work as active K9 Rescue Units on Military Boats of the Italian Coast Guards and Police.
Our Units are trained to operate on board of SAR helicopters of Military Navy and Air force, with Coast Guards, with Fire     Departments, with Custom Department, with Police, with 118 Emergency units.
We are the only one in the world to certificate our dogs to work with helicopters; they jump from them while they are hovering among waves and storm wind and are able to be winched from a Hovering Helicopter to the Victim in Water.
     Something more about us:
Training of K9 units coming from Germany, UK, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Poland, Estonia, Japan, USA.
