Our highly trained Search & Rescue Team is comprised of seasoned professionals, directed by a credentialed team leader, with decades of experience. The team is always ready to mobilize at a moment’s notice.
On the rare occasion that our initial interview determines a person is indeed missing and potentially in danger, the SAR team is immediately activated. A whole series of in-place protocols are executed to ensure the rapid deployment of every needed resource.
Our 33-foot Mobile Command Center (MCC) is fully equipped and enables us to manage such an operation with ease. On board our MCC, we have 4 independent command stations to facilitate multitasking, state-of-the-art communications equipment, a high-capacity printer for rapid printing of color fliers and more.
During a boots-on-ground search, we maintain constant communication with all relevant agencies including neighboring Shomrim teams, Hatzalah and law enforcement.
