Why Do I Need A Scent Preservation Kit?

Scent Kit Innovator Presents Missing Person Response Solutions at Florida’s Capital 4.5 Million people have gone missing in the past 20 years. When Scent Evidence K9 hosted kidnap victim and child safety advocate, Elizabeth Smart, during Florida's 2018 Children's Week event, we were reminded that the unthinkable can happen to people from every walk of life. Children with Autism and adults diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease and other forms of dementia are even more at risk to wander and go missing. The American Pediatrics Association states that children with autism have an almost 50% chance of going missing at least once before age 17 and studies have shown that 6 out of 10 of those with Alzheimer's Disease will wander.

Preserving scent gives those you love and care for an extra layer of protection should they go missing. It's like "peace of mind in a jar."

How Do Scent Kits Work?

A Scent Preservation Kit® is one of the most effective and affordable ways to take precautions before a missing person event occurs. Preserving one's odor ahead of time gives responding K9 Units a head start by providing the trailing dogs with an uncontaminated scent article. When a person collects and stores their own scent, it isn't touched by other family members, pets, or responders. This means that K9 Units do not have to go through the time-consuming dismissal process to determine who's scent is actually on the article. In a missing person case, time can be a matter of life and death. Simply swiping the scent pad under your arm 10 times and storing in the specially treated jar, saves valuable time before the search begins and reduces the time it takes to find the lost and bring them home. Swipe, Seal, and Store to keep your loved ones safe!
