Welcome New and Prospective Members!

This page provides our package of information for people who want to or have just joined Search and Rescue in the Pincher Creek area.

A paper copy of this information can be found in the personnel binder which is at the regular meetings. You can print out copies for yourself or new packages for others from the individual documents.

Overview

Basic information


Training for New Members

New members of Pincher SAR are expected to meet the provincial requirements of:

  • ICS 100 -- a 3-hour online course that introduces how people are organized during an "incident"
  • SAR Basics -- a 40-hour course, held in Pincher Creek in the fall and Lethbridge in the spring
  • Standard First Aid or higher -- you can get this anywhere you want. Pincher SAR will pay up to $150 of the course fee of those that complete it. Every few years Pincher SAR offers the more advanced Wilderness First Aid

Members of our sister organization, the Community Response Group, need not meet all of these requirements. We however encourage them to take the training anyway as it means you can be deployed in more circumstances.

Criminal Record Check Request form

You can print the pdf form to request a Criminal Record Check Request from one of these links

If the date on the pre-signed form is more than 6 months old, it might not be accepted. Better to print out the unsigned form and get it signed by a member of the board, the membership committee or the Administrator before you take it to the RCMP.
