Pierce County SO and [redacted]

These individuals were extremely professional in their approach
to the problem and exhibited an intense desire to assist in this
Bureau operation. They supplied their own living accomodations
and most of their food plus radio communications.

It is felt that an offer by [redacted] to possibly have
more than the above mentioned members of the Association work a
larger area with more dogs on another weekend could be of value.
If this is deemed advisable it is suggested that SA [redacted]
Tacoma RA make the necessary arrangements and it is felt that some
of the Seattle agents assigned to the search on foot could benefit
greatly from observation of the search in order to familiarize
themselves with problems encountered and terrain to be searched,
