Emergency Notification System
First and foremost a life saving unit, Search and Rescue (SAR) has evolved into much more. It is the premier mentoring program in Linn County, serving countless teens in its more than 30 years of operation. The youth of SAR work shoulder to shoulder with the deputies of the Linn County Sheriff`s Office. In fact, all of the adult leaders of SAR are full time Linn County Sheriff`s Office deputies.
Search and Rescue Training Academy
Since records have been kept, beginning in 1990, the young men and women of Linn County SAR have dedicated over 100,000 man hours to the citizens of Linn County. Alumni of our program have gone into careers in law enforcement, computer programming, architecture, business, nuclear physics, and have become members of the armed forces.
Linn County Search and Rescue is an all-volunteer program with staff supervision and leadership. We are extremely proud of the young people in our program. They are the future of our communities.
