Grant County Sheriff's Search and Rescue (SAR) is an all volunteer group. Calls in the county run an average
of 70% water-related incidents, with underwater search and recovery operations
often called for. The unit will usually have 10 to 12 divers with varying
degrees of experience, but always several dive rescue specialists with
special training in underwater search and recovery.
While the unit will take on any assignment that comes its way, we train
to meet a variety of needs, including, but not limited to, the following:
-
Dive rescue and recovery
-
Ice rescue
-
Technical rope rescue
-
Ground searches
