Search and Rescue
SEARCH & RESCUE
There are many many forms of Search and Rescue from Ground (GSAR) To Mountain to Wilderness to Alpine and Marine / Water based Search and Rescue (CSAR). ERTSAR is qualified and provides SAR services in many of them.
MisPer Search
Missing Persons is an area of SAR which is often coordinated by the Police and often performed by volunteer teams although professional SAR services do also exist with certain agencies.

A short film on Missing Persons and Search and Rescue by ERT SAR Founder, Gary Foo with thanks to all appearing partners and supporters.
Techniques taken from the 2008 book by Gary Foo, and from the training course on ER & SAR.
In our Missing Person Search we often also use Mountain Bikes (MBSAR) and Search and Rescue K9s or Dogs.
MBSAR / Mtb Bike SAR
ERT SAR has a very comprehensive MBSAR or Mountain Bike Search and Rescue program and we are qualified to make Instructors through all levels. We have been advocates of MBSAR for 20 years. Not only can searches move around quicker than on foot, especially through routes and paths, but it is a quieter and greener option than motor vehicles.
