The Fundamentals Of Search Management 

Training
The most successful searches begin well in advance of a request for services.   Our network of investigators and specialty search resources has received the best training available.  When they are not actively participating in a search, they are preparing for the next search by attending classes and seminars on the latest techniques and technologies.   The Merrill's Search Management Team brings the best prepared resources to the search...Every Time!

Research
Scientific searches require quality data and quality inputs.  Use of internal and external resources is maximized with the focus on detail, and goals of efficiency and accuracy constantly in mind.  Profiles of victims, suspects and incidents are created and documented.  

Planning
Every search is assigned an incident manager who selects a team, assigns tasks and leads the team through the each phase of the search.  Technology options are reviewed and selected.   Budgets are managed and a timeline (gant chart) is created for assurance that every opportunity for success is taken advantage of, coordinated and well documented.

Preparation
Equipment, Supplies, Communications Stations and Travel arrangements are just a few of the areas where extensive preparations are made.  Supported by home office staff and reconnaissance staff, sent to the search site early, every opportunity for success is considered.  Merrill's knows the importance of being prepared.

Conducting a Search
The execution of a search is where the true skills of proper management are revealed.  To the inexperienced spectator it is awe inspiring.  To the participants it is the only way they know how to operate, with perfection.  The core principles at Merrill's shine through ; professionalism, integrity, honesty and dedication.

Output
Every detail of a search is exhaustively documented.  Video, Photos, Maps, Logs, Samples, Evidence and other Data are supplied.  With the measure of success often being subjective and not always immediate, documentation is crucial.   A comprehensive report is provided for potential legal proceedings,
