Marin County Search and Rescue is made up of various people from different backgrounds and experience levels. All of our members bring something different to the team. We maintain the team at around sixty people year round. In order to do this we have two recruitment periods each year. Normally, one in early winter (December/January), and a second takes place in late summer (August/September). Our next deadline is February 13th 2009.

We have a very detailed brochure on the team that you can download using this link. Also, make sure to check out the application below since it has some very helpful frequently asked questions. We have a new recruitment video that may help answer some of your basic questions about the team and get you excited to join.
