LSAR assists the London, Strathroy-Caradoc, Aylmer, and St. Thomas Police Services and the OPP in the search and rescue of lost or injured persons across Middlesex County. Members of LSAR have been trained in First Aid, Basic and Advanced Search and Rescue, Rappelling, Rigging-for-Rescue, Man Tracking, Dive rescue and many other areas of expertise to effectively assist on searches. Our volunteers are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Throughout the year, London Search and Rescue also provides a safety program to local primary schools & youth groups, such as Brownie/Scout troops. Our program consists of a video on survival (Hug-A-Tree by the RCMP) if lost in the wilderness, along with a presentation by our members on the prevention of getting lost and how to make the find much easier for searchers. Our members participate in this program strictly on a volunteer basis. We feel that this program is critical to the well being of the children in our community, as well as their families.
