-	Pincher Creek SAR adopted August 2001	+
-		+
-		+
-	Our Search and Rescue	+
-	group deals with situations where people's lives can hang in the	+
-	balance.	+
-		+
-	The group must strive for the very best relationship with	+
-	the public and the organizations with which it deals. We cannot	+
-	afford to have individuals or organizations hesitate to call upon	+
-	us or to work with us in resolving an emergency.	+
-		+
-	For this reason,	+
-	we do not take sides on any controversy in the community. Our SAR	+
-	group holds no opinion on matters outside of Search and Rescue and	+
-	the Civil Emergency Response. We welcome members regardless of	+
-	their apparent alignment to any faction or clique; we judge them	+
-	solely on their contributions to the Search and Rescue effort.	+
-		+
-	Our	+
-	group is judged not only by its formal organizational face, but by	+
-	the actions of its members. Whenever we wear the Search and Rescue	+
-	name, whether on a coat or hat or on our vehicle, whenever we say	+
-	we are Search and Rescue volunteers, we are associating ourselves	+
-	with Search and Rescue and our actions will reflect on the SAR	+
-	group. At these times we should	+
-	* be prepared to help out in any emergency within the limits of our training and ability,	+
-	* be respectful of others, and,	+
-	* if offering an opinion, clearly distinguish when we are reflecting the policies of the SAR group and when we are expressing our own views.	+
-		+
-	When we work or	+
-	train for emergencies, we inevitably build relationships with	+
-	people in positions of authority. As SAR volunteers we respect the	+
-	privilege of having these relationships and only request special	+
-	treatment when needed to deal with emergencies, training and	+
-	education.	+
-		+
-	As volunteers, we put a lot of time, effort, and soul	+
-	into Search and Rescue. It is often tempting to seek out the	+
-	appreciation of the community by making it clear how much we	+
-	individually have contributed -- by saying in effect "look at me,	+
-	look at what I have done." However, it is largely impossible to put	+
-	ourselves forward without some people seeing it as self-promoting.	+
-	So this we are asked to give up for the benefit of the SAR group.	+
-		+
-	At times we will feel under appreciated. The thanks we receive,	+
-	although welcome will be infrequent and from some sources	+
-	altogether missing. This too we are asked to suffer quietly.	+
-		+
-	We	+
-	give up the desire for special recognition and treat our role in	+
-	Search and Rescue with reverence. We willingly do so in order to	+
-	have the very best relationship with the public and other	+
-	organizations with which we work and on which we rely in an	+
-	emergency.	+
-		+
-	These things we do, that others may live.	+
