East Texas Mounted Search
and Rescue Team
|
|
Police officers are, first and foremost, keepers of the peace. We count on law enforcement to pursue and capture the “bad guys.” Firefighters are hazardous materials technicians, emergency medical technicians, and primarily, they train to “put the wet stuff on the red stuff.” Paramedics help heal the sick. These are full time jobs -- important ones. The brave men and women who comprise America’s public safety profession provide us with much needed and appreciated services, but they cannot be all things to all people, all the time. For this reason, we’ve come to depend on volunteers to help conduct search and rescue missions across the country. It is ETMSAR’s mission to train volunteers to help out where federal, state and county programs can’t always fully cover. (Remember, over 90% of the nation’s search and rescue missions are conducted by unpaid professionals!). ETMSAR is currently training a team of volunteers in a Search and Rescue Certification Program. We must ensure that the volunteers of today (and tomorrow) in search and rescue are as prepared to work with County Sheriff's, Police Officers, or eve Firefighters. Horse should be able to pass our criteria as set forth by our trainers. Remember horses can go many places a vehicle can’t. Refer to our Event Page for up coming Meetings and Training Sessions
