The management and control of the search function Courses are NOT SAR entry courses. The courses are aimed at experienced SAR staff who focus on SAR management issues. Basic SAR knowledge/skills are not offered during these courses, but are highly recommended skills. These courses are intended for agency SAR coordinators, their assistants, or other SAR professionals who are or may be transferred to an agency SAR management structure position. Therefore, applicants must either be recognized by CalOES as holding their SAR Coordinator position within their agency or receive notifications from the SAR Coordinators in the jurisdiction indicating that the applicant is or may be placed in a SAR Management Structure position. This notification must be made before the applicant accepts. The approval of your SAR Coordinator (your SAR Coordinators) for the application is just as acceptable as a simple call to the SAR Coordinator/Senior Instructor of CalOES State.
This restriction is necessary to limit the number of participants in these popular course offerings to those who are actually placed in these responsible roles.
