STEVE FISCHER

missing persons investigator, search and rescue specialist

Licensed Private Investigator in CA, FL, AZ, TN, & AL. Certified to conduct Search and Rescue and Thermal Drone Operations in all US States

I'm Steve Fischer, a Missing Persons Private Investigator, Search and Rescue (SAR) pilot and ground searcher, and an FAA-licensed search and rescue drone pilot, and an EMT.

I started in missing persons over twenty years ago by earning my commercial, multi-engine, instrument pilot license so I could pilot search and rescue missions by air. Since then, I have constantly trained in additional investigative and search and rescue techniques. I am forever a student seeking knowledge to give me a better chance of finding the missing person and bringing them home.

My extensive list of certifications includes but is not limited to being a licensed Private Investigator,  Search and Rescue aircraft pilot, SARTECH II ground search technician, and EMT, FAA licensed part 107 drone pilot, experienced with thermal imaging and LOC8 detection software, and I hold multiple FEMA certifications. I am also certified through NCMEC in Child Sex Trafficking, Understanding Child Sexual Abuse, and Search Techniques for Autistic Children. I have completed extensive training in Lost Person Behavior, Man Tracking, and extensive training in Alzheimer’s Missing Person Behavior. I also have law enforcement police academy POST PC832 Laws of Arrest and Weapons certifications. This breadth of knowledge equips me with a deep understanding of diverse scenarios, enhancing my ability to respond effectively to a variety of missing persons cases.

My dedication to this work is unwavering. I approach every case determined to find the missing person, no matter the circumstances. I don't believe in giving up; instead, I exhaust all possibilities, leveraging my skills, knowledge, training, and intuition to provide resolution for families seeking their missing loved ones.

In this field, experience and results matter, and every minute counts. With my comprehensive training, extensive certifications, and steadfast dedication, I strive to deliver not just results, but also much-needed peace of mind in challenging times.
