Our team is equipped to search, manage, or assist in missing incidents with mapping and tracking capabilities to efficiently search and log searched areas. We also have portable repeaters for clear communication.
Our team has multiple boats, and kayaks with state of the art side scan SONAR, to assist in searches for drowning victims.
Our team is available to assist in the aftermath of tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. We can assist with clearing areas and searching for survivors as well as tracking and managing the search and recovery efforts. Our team is trained to use the NIMS framework as well as the FEMA marking system for seamless integration with other teams.
The Oklahoma Search & Rescue team was established in January 2019. Our team members are from conservative Christian communities in Oklahoma, who are passionate about helping others in time of need.
Our goal is to be an effective resource to assist local law enforcement, EMS, fire departments, park services, and other responsible agencies with missing person searches.
We strive to maintain proficiency in our skills and work hard to stay current in training and equipment. Since our team is volunteer based, we do not charge for our services. Our ultimate goal is to show the compassion and love of Christ to people in distress.
Our team works hard to be proficient at what we do. We take our certificates and training seriously and do what we can to increase our knowledge of search and rescue topics. This continued training increases our efficiency and makes our scenes safer for all involved.
All Oklahoma SAR team members are required to hold the following certifications:
CPR & First Aid • ICS 100 & 700
Many of our team members are certified in the following areas:
Firefighter • ICS 200 & 800 • SARTech II

You were our last hope of ever having closure, God bless you!
