Our Recruitment drive for our 2019 Ground Search And Rescue (GSAR) class is now closed. We are pleased to welcome a fantastic group of 11 new Members in Training (MITs) to our team!

SSISAR had a field exercise last Saturday with Regular members putting the new MITs through their paces in performing the 3 methods of searching.

Starting off the day with Type I (Initial Response) with a trail search, being re-tasked into a Type II (Sweep Search) and finally finishing off with a Type III (Grid Search).

Doing the back to back to back assignments really highlighted the differences in search methods for our MITs, showing the value of each type in different scenarios and time frames.

Fortunately the weather was exactly how we like it; “If it’s not raining, It’s not Training”.

Good to see so many enthusiastic and happy members out there!
