Explorer Post 1574
Becoming an Explorer opens up opportunities to meet new friends, make a
difference in your community, obtain law enforcement experience, and offers
career opportunities.
As an Explorer you will gain leadership qualities, responsibility,
maintain integrity and pride, as well as self discipline and motivation.
The purpose of the Explorer Search and Rescue
Program is to:
Supply trained people to assist local law enforcement in the conduct of
search and rescue operations in wilderness and urban setting.
To provide valuable community service during disasters and support
community events such as parades and celebrations
K 9
SAR dogs can
find: Children lost in
the wilderness, parks, people who have wandered away from homes, hospitals and
nursing homes. Hikers and hunters lost in the woods. Victims of drowning
accidents. Victims of earthquake, flood, explosions, fire, plane crashes,
tornadoes and hurricanes. Evidence of crime and the bodies of homicide victims.
Dog teams have a very special role in the world of search and rescue. The dog's
ultra sensitive hearing, night vision, endurance, and keen sense of smell have
continually proven to be invaluable in the effort to locate missing persons.
Because of their extraordinary abilities, dogs are often able to reduce the
search time, thereby increasing the chances that the person will be found alive.
It is estimated that a single trained search dog team can be as effective
as 20 to 30 trained human searchers in locating missing persons in a given time.
4x4 Team
Our 4x4 Response Team is utilized during severe weather
conditions (such as snow) or other emergencies where four-wheel drive
vehicles are necessary to transport critical supplies, hospital and
government employees or citizens with nonemergency medical conditions.
Safety Talks
We provide a wide range of safety talks to school
assemblies and civic originations.
