The London Search and Rescue team are trained professional volunteers that assist all police forces within 150km of London, ON in the search for missing persons.  We are the only volunteer ground SAR team in our area, and are 100% volunteer run.

Each searcher on our team is trained in search patterns, missing person behaviour, psychology of survival, orienteering, map and compass work, GPS and Radio usage, evidence handling, administering first aid and several other skillsets.  Several members have advanced training in man-tracking, emergency management, medical first responder, and search management.  You can learn more about LSAR on www.lsar.ca or Facebook or Instagram. 

The London Search and Rescue team, in addition to searching for missing persons, runs a preventative educational program called AdventureSmart.  This program was developed in British Columbia and we have 20 certified instructors who deliver free educational courses to the public with a focus on educating youth.  The courses we teach are called Hug-a-tree and survive, Survive outside, Paddlesmart, Survive outside Snowmobiling, and Snow Safety.  To learn more about this program you can view it here: https://www.adventuresmart.ca/programs/#.
