The TRC is one of the most respected gatherings for USAR and technical rescue practitioners in the northeastern United States, featuring workshops across structural collapse, rope rescue, water rescue, trench operations, wilderness SAR, hazmat, EMS, and leadership. The event draws operators and decision-makers from fire departments, law enforcement, military units, and volunteer SAR organizations.‍Session: How Data & AI Are Reshaping K9 Search and Rescue Operations‍Koren's 90-minute workshop uses K9 SAR teams as a practical case study to explore how data and artificial intelligence are changing the way rescue teams train, document, and assess operational readiness -- a challenge shared across all technical rescue disciplines.‍Drawing from real SAR deployments and multi-agency training environments, the session covers how AI can surface blind spots in training patterns that paper logs miss, practical examples of using structured data to identify skill gaps and support defensible certifications, and where AI-driven tools such as training pattern analysis, health and workload indicators, and automated reporting can help command staff make better decisions. Optional live demonstrations show how the same training session produces radically different insight depending on how it is documented and analyzed.‍The focus is not technology for technology's sake, but how rescue teams can responsibly adopt AI to enhance safety, accountability, and performance -- while respecting limited budgets and volunteer-heavy team structures.
