Motorized Unit

 

 

 

 

 

 

Members use their personal SUV’s and pick-up trucks to transport personnel and equipment in and out of search areas, in rural and urban settings.  Included are 4x4 and 4x2 vehicles.  They are also used for perimeter containment and can transport mobile repeaters to high points to increase communication capabilities.  Utilizing their mobile, higher-powered radios, they can provide relay communications in areas where the field teams cannot contact the search command post.

Also, included under the Motorized Unit, is the SAR Bike (Search and Rescue mountain bike) Squad.  It is made up of field qualified personnel from the Motorized Unit and other units in the SAR Bureau.  Field qualified personnel from other SAR Units may participate on the SAR Bike Squad.
