Colorado Outdoor Recreation Search and Rescue Card (CORSAR):<\/em> <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Colorado residents and visitors are well served by dedicated volunteer search and rescue teams. By purchasing a Colorado Outdoor Recreation Search and Rescue (CORSAR) card you are contributing to the Search and Rescue Fund, that reimburses teams for costs incurred in search and rescues activities across the State of Colorado. The CORSAR card is available from the Colorado Parks & Wildlife (CPW) website for $5 for a one-year card and $20 for a five-year card.

The CORSAR card is not insurance and does not reimburse individuals nor does it pay for medical transport.

Click the CPW link above to go to the CORSAR home page.

The Montrose County Sheriff’s Posse, Inc., is a non-profit corporation organized to provide services through the Montrose County Sheriff’s Office. In Colorado, search and rescue is the responsibility of the County Sheriff and the Montrose County Sheriff’s Posse is a resource provided to the Sheriff or any other emergency agency in the county.

The Posse is comprised of volunteers who provide support to the Sheriff’s Office for Search and Rescue, Wildfire Suppression, mutual aid to other county emergency service providers and security to certain county events.

All the members of the Posse are highly trained, qualified and certified for the operations that they perform. These men and women give freely of their own time while being on call for an emergency 24 hours a day, seven days a week. While the Posse maintains a small fleet of vehicles and rescue equipment, many members use their own equipment, vehicles and ATV’s for these operations at their own expense.

The Posse does not charge for their services, but they do rely on the generous contributions from our neighbors and fellow citizens through an annual fund drive.

Any person interested in joining the Posse can submit an application for membership. Contact us using the mailing address, email address or phone number listed below for more information.
