2008 SEARCH AND RESCUE

An important part of the training the Posse receives is in Search and Rescue.

The local Sheriff can call on the Posse to help locate missing persons, items, securing accident scenes and so forth. To be able to do this efficiently, training is done each year to learn new techniques and hone old ones.

This year was a little different from past years, as all the information had to be located using compass readings as well as GPS information. The search is carried out in a local gravel pit, with lots of different terrain.
