This past weekend some of our UTV team members were able to attend and pass a two day OHV certification. We put both the drivers and machines through various obstacles and challenges. Being part of a SAR UTV Unit is much more than normal recreational riding. We transport Personnel, Gear and Often The Subject through difficult and often treacherous conditions. We need our operators to have the skill set and confidence to get through these situations.

A huge thank you to “ team ugly naked guy” and the Bosque Brewing Co. for the generous donation to our team. We were able to add a new cell booster system ( now both a team vehicle and the team Ranger have cell boosting capability ) and we added a new mount for viewing our mapping and thermal imaging in Ranger.

Excellent team training tonight… we had 37 team members in attendance.
We had a lost person behavior training with 3 different types of subjects with three different scenarios. We were able to deploy our new thermal imaging camera on our team Ranger… we were super impressed with camera capabilities. Able to see teams and subjects at over 400 yards and some areas further. Between this camera and thermal drone… we will have a huge improvement in our night search capabilities.
