Training Videos
by Marin SAR
We've put together this series of training videos to allow you to keep your skills sharp. Remember, this is not a substitute for the real thing. It's important that you are still attending Monday night meetings and weekend trainings so you can get hands-on experience. A well-prepared searcher is a well-trained searcher and a well-trained searcher is ready for a mission anytime, anywhere, in any weather. Here is a link to watch all the videos.
