What We Do
The primary function of Multnomah County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) Search and Rescue (SAR) is to perform ground searches. SAR works very closely with the Sheriff's Office and is a highly adaptive unit. Search and Rescue involves finding lost and injured hikers, hunters, climbers, skiers, children, and deceased subjects. We also search for evidence at crime scene and assist with evacuations during natural disasters. This can only be accomplished with proper training. A nine-month period begins each September; training consists of weekly meeting and monthly weekend field outings.
Who Can Join?
ANYONE!! MCSO SAR is looking for highly dedicated volunteers that will be at least 14 years old by June 1, 2009.
