On average we receive anywhere from 55 to 60 search and rescue missions a year in various locations throughout Mesa and neighboring counties. We are on call 24/7 to support the Mesa County Sheriffs Office with any and all search and rescue efforts, from safely carrying out injured mountain bikers to finding lost individuals in the mountains. Our goal, to help out those who are just having a bad day! All ground team members must complete a 10 week training class, hold a current CPR/Basic First aid certification, pass an annual knot test, fitness hike, back country navigation test using a map and compass and meet weekly training standards. The ground team is also capable of deploying and supporting many other resources into the field depending on our mission.
