GROUND SEARCH AND RESCUE (GSAR) TRAINING COURSE
A
Mounted Search & Rescue (MSAR) team is being organized and trained for
primary service in the Cook County area, and may also be deployed anywhere in
the state upon request of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency. The MSAR
team will serve in the Emergency Services division of the Village of Melrose
Park's Department of Public Safety, which conducts search & rescue (SAR)
operations as well as train first responders in SAR operations. The head of the
Department of Public Safety is Chief Philip C. Schwartz. The MSAR team leader is
Lieutenant Ronald T. Vasser and Sergeant David Cooper is the MSAR team logistics
and communications specialist. You can visit our website at www.mpps.us A
Ground Search and Rescue (GSAR) training course will be conducted by the Melrose
Park Dept. of Public Safety. This course is designed to offer an overview of SAR
concepts and operations. It provides a broad overview of SAR fundamentals, such
as the definition of search, the scope of SAR operations, resources, search
techniques, basic land navigation, and search crew field operations. This course
is intended for all emergency responders, including police, fire, emergency
management, and parks & recreation personnel, who might be involved in a
search incident during the normal course of their duties. Prior SAR training or
experience is not required to successfully complete this course. This course
meets applicable ASTM and NFPA
standards.
Any
MSAR candidate who may have missed the last GSAR course can now make up this
class and get certified. If you have already taken this GSAR training
course and have a certificate, you are also invited to attend the class and
help with the field exercise. WHEN: Saturday, November 22, 2008
from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM
All sessions are required for certification
CLOTHING: The outdoor portions of the SAR training are
conducted rain or shine. WHAT
TO BRING: Everyone should bring a whistle and a flashlight for our evening
search (no mini-flashlights) and note taking materials. I would also suggest
insect repellent and sun screen. ENROLLMENT: Registration is required prior to the
course. Our mission is to assemble a diverse group of professionals who will bring
dedication, skill and personality to the MSAR team. If
you know of any other riders that may be interested in joining and
training with our MSAR team contact Lt. Vasser at 312-391-0077 or e-mail rvasser@aol.com for more information and include
contact information, riding experience and a brief biography.
On behalf of Chief Philip C. Schwartz of the Melrose Park Department of
Public Safety and myself, we would like to thank you for your interest and
support.
Lt. Ronald T. Vasser
MSAR team leader |
