Cochrane Search and Rescue Association is a charity that saves lives. We provide on-call professional dedicated search and rescue Volunteers 24/7.

CSAR provides many opportunities for learning, building skills and assisting your community.

Cochrane Search & Rescue was formed in 2001 and has been involved in many searches, incidents and events since this time.

Our organization is a not-for-profit charity and all members are Volunteers.  We rely solely on donations, community fundraising and the goodwill of our Cochrane community.

Volunteer Search & Rescue (SAR) organizations like CSAR cannot initiate a search; the authorities call us and we respond.  If believe that you need to initiate a search please contact 911 immediately. If 911 does not work in your area then dial zero (0) and tell the operator you need search and rescue.
