Field Volunteers – Clallam County Search and Rescue is a unit within the Sheriff’s Department, all volunteers are required to complete a volunteer application through the Clallam County Sheriff’s office, pass a background screening, and meet with the Sheriff’s Office SAR coordinator.

All field-deployable volunteers will need to complete a series of safety and SAR-related training. A SAR academy is held at the beginning of every year to accommodate the training series. Those with previous and current training may work with the coordinator to expedite field deployment. Training is also held throughout the year in two monthly classroom meetings and a once-a-month all-day field training.
