"Cindy"

I am involved in SAROM because I enjoy helping people - even when the outcome is not what we all want - it still provides closure for the family. I put myself in the family's place - if I had a loved one out there - I would want anyone who has the skill and ability to help, to be out there searching. The victim deserves nothing less than the best.

SAROM History

Experienced search and rescue personnel wished to form an agency run by a panel of law enforcement & professional emergency response directors.  In 2001 Search and Rescue of Michigan (SAROM) was formed under that basic design.  Our team consists of professionally trained volunteers that attend sessions regularly for search work in areas such as: dog handling, communications, field scouting, incident command, First Aid/CPR, mapping crime scene preservation, record keeping, navigation and public relations.
     Our directors meet quarterly.  Volunteers attend mandatory monthly drills as well as weekly to tri-weekly individual training sessions and various seminars to be among the very best search and rescue personnel.
