The goal of the Wyoming Search and Rescue Conference is to bring together Wyoming’s search and rescue community of law enforcement officers, SAR coordinators and volunteers, and other emergency management professionals. Building relationships, sharing knowledge and experience, and growing statewide support for SAR efforts are cornerstones of this annual event.
The one-day conference will feature general and breakout sessions, as well as a hands-on skills competition in the afternoon. Breakfast and lunch are provided.
Check back soon for our keynote speaker announcement.
Agenda
General sessions in the morning will focus on the possible development of a Wyoming
Search and Rescue Subcommittee run through the Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and
Chiefs of Police (WASCOP). Aiming to help coordinate and organize statewide SAR efforts,
this conversation needs input from county sheriffs, SAR commanders, and volunteers.
Come ready to contribute to a workshop session on what this could look like for search
and rescue in Wyoming! Breakout sessions in the afternoon will feature relevant statewide
topics.
- Following GPS/OnyX coordinates
- Man tracking/following disturbances to lead you to victim
- Patient assessment/packaging patient
- Extrication and transport of patient
