Union County Search & Rescue
Share
The SAR team operates under the authority and direction of the Union County Sheriff's Office, and provides search and rescue services to Union County and beyond, through mutual aid agreements with neighboring agencies.

Last week and this past weekend, members of our team trained alongside Umatilla County Search and Rescue and Wallowa County Search and Rescue team members, completing an Oregon Rescue Rope Rescue Technician course near La Grande. This was an incredible training for our team, not only for the technical rescue skills gained and practiced, but also the partnerships, relationships, and trust built between neighboring SAR teams who frequently provide mutual aid to each other.
We give our sincere thanks to Umatilla County SAR who took the lead on organizing the course, our volunteers who committed several days of their time to this very intensive training, and to our donors who make it possible for us to provide such valuable training opportunities to our team. Thank you!
