Cumberland County Search and Rescue Team 400(CCSAR) is a non-profit Emergency Response Team that is on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week year round to assist in locating non-violent missing persons.

The Team is made up of volunteers, many of whom, are already involved with thier local fire departments. We also receive assistance from local police and sheriff departments, as well as employees from the state parks. Membership is open to everyone. You do not have to be affiliated with a rescue organization or department to become a member of our Team. There are indoor and outdoor assignments (such as interviewing , planning, logistics, and communications, searching on foot, operating vehicles, and navigating) that require little or no physical exertion, light to heavy physical exertion and exposure to the weather. There is training and support provided for all assignments.

The team gets involved in searches for lost children, individuals who are developmentally challenged, and elderly adults (often with Alzheimers or dementia) who have wandered away.

"Wilderness" searches for missing hunters, hikers and campers are a common occurrance. In addition, the team also responds to calls to search for individuals who are emotionally distraught and have run off into the woods. There is no "typical" victim or search scenario. Each search is completely different.
