Welcome

BCSO-SAR responds to an average of 25 calls for assistance each year. These calls range in severity from missing adults and children, to the search for evidence, and for service in times of disaster.  Because of the wide variety of member training, the Unit is a valuable resource for the communities within Bay and the surrounding Counties.
