Enjoy the rigors of the wild? Carson City Search and Rescue is looking for new recruits
Carson City Sheriff’s Office Search And Rescue is recruiting individuals with a desire to serve their community while working in the great outdoors.
Responsible for 153 square miles of varied wilderness and urban terrain stretching from Eldorado Canyon in the East to the shore of Lake Tahoe in the West, Carson City SAR works directly for the Sheriff’s Office supporting the Operations and Detective Divisions, along with providing assistance to Carson City Fire Department, Parks, Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Forest Service and neighboring counties.
Carson City Sheriff’s Office Search And Rescue performs wilderness and urban searches, evidence searches, wildfire evacuations, and other tasking. All team members are trained and maintain an understanding of a myriad of search skills including; maps, compass, Global Positioning System, VHF radio, First Aid and Incident Command System.
The training requirements are broad, with a real-world need to maintain the acquired skill sets. Additional training is provided for select personnel as Ropes Rescue and Swift Water Rescue Technicians.
If you enjoy the rigors of the wilderness, maintain skill sets such as hiking, biking, climbing, SCUBA, off-roading, and have a desire to help others when they fear for their own lives, then Search and Rescue may be for you.
Carson City Search And Rescue will hold a short recruiting meeting Thursday, Feb. 15, 6 p.m. at the Carson City Sheriff’s Office, 911 E. Musser St. Carson City. See carsonsar.com for additional information.
