We appreciate your interest in joining Rescue 101 SAR. We are a 100% volunteer organization and do not have any paid staff.  All of our members are required to have a background check conducted by the Sheriff's Office, where they reside. Previous search and rescue or emergency service experience are not necessary; new members will be expected to have basic camping, hiking, and other outdoor skills. All members must provide their outdoor clothing and personal equipment. Prospective members must live within the state of Ohio.   There are minimum attendance requirements for all members. Failure to meet minimum attendance may result in loss of field status and possible dismissal from the team. Rescue 101 Search and Rescue provides emergency services for the citizens of Ohio, so members will be expected to respond to callouts when available.
