The members, numbering over 50 strong, serving a variety of roles are working toward a single goal; saving lives. There is never a charge for Search and Rescue services, we are on call 24/7. We are a nonprofit 501c3 organization comprised of dedicated public safety professionals who volunteer their free time to provide the humanitarian services of search and rescue capabilities throughout our counties and beyond. The team operates under the jurisdiction of the Adams and Lincoln County's Sheriff’s Office.
