Last night, Isis Search and Rescue was assessed by a panel of ALSAR appointed experts and watched by a Thames Valley Police Search Advisor. During the evening unit members carried out a search and rescue exercise designed to test our abilities and ensure that we meet the new guidelines that ALSAR has for approved units.
Full ALSAR membership is important to us because it enables us to work directly with Thames Valley Police in locating vulnerable missing people in our home county of Oxfordshire and we are pleased to announce that we passed the assessment. Full membership now needs to be ratified by the ALSAR committee at their meeting in September.
