Who We Are
Finding Hope. Giving Peace.
Our Commitment
United Search Corps is dedicated to addressing the heartbreaking crisis of missing and murdered individuals. Guided by our mission of Finding Hope. Giving Peace., we work tirelessly to bring answers to families who have long been waiting for closure.
Through collaborative partnerships, advanced search techniques, and advocacy, we support law enforcement agencies, tribal confederations, and communities. We conduct specialized search efforts using groundbreaking tactics in active and cold criminal cases. Our team provides law enforcement with training on effective search strategies and investigative techniques, while also offering consultation to optimize search operations in challenging and complex cases.
We raise public awareness to amplify the voices of the missing, support victims’ families with care, compassion, and resources, and share critical data to strengthen investigations and aid in locating the missing.
At United Search Corps, we believe every individual matters, and every search brings hope. Together, we are committed to making a lasting difference and delivering peace to those who need it most. Finding Hope. Giving Peace.
How We Work
United Search Corps is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 92-2724824). Founded by Doug Bishop, our volunteer teams deploy side-scan sonar, dive teams, and K9 units to search the waterways and terrain where answers wait, at no cost to families. We do not charge families for our support. Donations fund searches, recoveries, equipment, travel, and case work.
