Yup. Which is precisely why I have attempted to gather, for each
jurisdiction, the legal agency or other established entity that is
responsible for SAR operations and training. Sometimes a single
entity is responsible for both operations and training, at least
at the level of setting guidelines, but often these two activities
are managed by separate entities.
