Chouteau County SAR was formed April 4, 1972 by President Doug Williams. Vice President at the time was Bob Hume and Secretary/Treasurer was Steve Miller.

This unit has a number of specialized craft for both land and river searches and recoveries. Additionally, the Search and Rescue is the unit responsible for extrication of trapped individuals in farm and vehicle accidents and is very well equipped with modern equipment and training.
