I have been a member of SAR in weber county for years, I am sure there is ALOT more to the story than what is being told, I have spent thousands of dollars on equipment and who knows how many hours of training, when I go out on a search and I am risking my life to try and save another, I want to know that the people I am with are as trained as I am and I know I can trust them with my life.
The deputies are the first on the scene when a call comes in, they determine if a call needs to go out and who needs to be called out, we have different teams, we have a first responder team that wants to be called out asap and will go out in any condition ( I am a member of that team ) we are all volunteers and take great pride in what we do. I don't know how I would feel about officers going out with me in extreme conditions untill they are well trained, most of our team members do this stuff for fun already, I am on the snowmobile team, and ground team in the summer, I love to ride and hike, I joined because I wanted the medical training that comes with it and because I wanted to help save lives, there is nothing more satisfying than seeing a family reunited with a loved one.
My wife says I joined just to get up in the middle of the night to go ride my snowmobile
75% of callouts are late at night
