National Night Out
Programs
Members typically spend more time providing awareness programs and safety training in the community each year than they spend involved on missing person incidents. It is a huge part of what the team does.
Impact
Since our founding in 1994, we have responded to hundreds of missing person incidents in south central Pennsylvania.
Teamwork
A few years into our existance, we adopted the slogan, "Where teamwork is a tradition". The founding leaders recognized that absolutely none of what organization had become and none of what it was accomplishing would be possible without teamwork.
Middle Creek Search & Rescue
Founded in 1994, Middle Creek Search & Rescue (MIDSAR) is dedicated to providing outstanding search and rescue services to our community. MIDSAR members are trained in grid searching techniques, map and compass skills, crime scene awareness, and interviewing methods. Many members continue their training to include managing search operations, SKYWARN (severe weather spotters for the National Weather Service), and amatuer radio licensing. Some team members choose to specialize in land navagation, emergency communications, search management, or wilderness first aid. While others train and certify their K9 for search and rescue work. Members with horses participate on the equine team.Team Members
