Dorset Search & Rescue currently comprises of over 100 operational search technicians who are all qualified Lowland Rescue Search Technicians, a qualification that satisfies national standards. We have two vehicles, comprehensively equipped search control vehicle and a 4x4 Land Rover that is primarily used by our water team.
Additionally, we provide swift and flood water rescue teams, assistance in the search for significant objects (including crime-based searches) and support to the statutory agencies at major incidents.
Unfortunately members of the public cannot contact DorSAR to assist with missing persons cases, this must be organised via Dorset Police.
Remember, please to only call 999 if it is an emergency and 101 if it is urgent. If you can, use Dorset Police's online services.
