Drones-they’re not just for nature videographers anymore.
St. Paul Search & Rescue (SAR) is a local group of SAR Alberta, which is the province’s association for volunteer search and rescue within the province. The fully volunteer-powered organization is part of several provincial SAR teams that provide a superior and dedicated level of service to the people of Alberta.
“Our goal is to locate missing persons, and in the best-case scenario we recover them,” says Ken Gerlinsky, President of St. Paul SAR. “In situations where it has turned out poorly for the victim, our work assists in bringing closure to families and loved ones.”
The St. Paul SAR team works closely and frequently with neighbouring search-and-rescue teams to offer coverage across northeastern Alberta, such as Cold Lake SAR. Calls for support will often be in the form of manpower, equipment, or both.
