Search One Rescue Team
 

Search One Rescue is a volunteer non-profit organization founded in 1983 by Paul Lake. The  mission of the group is to assist governmental agencies in locating lost or missing persons. At present, this

volunteer network of trained men, women, and canines, supports over 100 local public safety departments within a 150 mile radius of Dallas.

Services include searches and rescues in urban, rural, and wilderness environments. Under normal conditions, the team participates in an average of six searches or rescues each month, looking for lost children or adults. Additionally, the team supports local authorities during weather related disasters when time is of the essence. Team members are trained to deal with collapsed structures, densely and sparsely populated areas, and traffic hazards.

Please note that this team is entirely volunteer. They receive no government funding - yet are subject to strict governmental standards for training, which can be costly for these individuals. That's where we come in! The funds from the auction will be used to provide volunteer training in one or several topics, depending on how much money our auction generates. Training can include radio communications, orienteering with a map and compass, basic land search, K-9 search teams, and base operations. Please consider making and donating a mini to this worthy cause.
