Dona Ana County Search and Rescue, Inc. - Tracking & Searching, So Others May Live...
About Us
    Our organization is here to help others, the community & state. Our team seeks to meet the needs of the lost, stranded, or injured.   Our members come from those who like to hike, hunt, climb, & camp.  The principal  requirement for members  is  an  interest in search and rescue, a willingness to learn the necessary skills,  and a desire  to contribute to this community effort.
      Team  members  provide  their  own personal trail gear  (boots, clothing,  packs & basic  survival  materials).   DACSAR maintains  an  inventory  of   team   gear (radios, ropes, litters, etc.) for mission use. Annual dues of $15 cover administrative  costs and some team purchases. The NM  Department of  Public Safety does provide mileage reimbursement for missions.
