Hi,
If you are inclined to, join the susar group on yahoo. This will allow you to receive information from sar groups all over the country.
I am a member of NJ Task Force 1, the team works under the NJ state police home land security branch under our local oem,
Bump. There's got to be someone out there with some sort of written policy for deployment, or guideline for training standards.

Howard -
You can try the SUSAR list, and you can also join the SAR-L yahoo list - lots of "professional" SAR folks on there who could help you. http://ml.islandnet.com/mailman/listinfo/sar-l
As far as deployment policies go, feel free to contact the admin. office of my CT DEM/HS USAR team at 860-706-5500. Our administration is state police based, similar to the NJ team Sarah mentioned. Although, our policies would be directly related to disaster or urban search and rescue and not necessarily wilderness SAR. Our state police has a canine search and rescue unit, so you might be able to get some information from them as well.
As far as "guidelines for training standards," what specifically do you mean? Are you talking about safety issues, personnel requirements, equipment requirements or all of the above?
Most volunteer teams (should!) have written MOUs with local agencies for deployment. Aren't there a slew of volunteer teams already in Florida that you could contact? Seems like every state has at least 4 or 5 volunteer SAR "teams."

Konnie,
Thank you for the help.

Being as there normally is no state mandated certification for LE SAR, there generally are accepted practices, training requirements and deployment guidelines. Being as the entity I'm assisting will be a police agency, there are things that have to be spelled out when dealing with anything Governmental.
I'll forward the link and phone number you provided. Thanks
