CMRU seeks to enhance our knowledge and refine our procedures by continually seeking out and sharing information with other experienced individuals and organizations. The unit encourages and actively supports continuing SAR education for its members. CMRU can operate by itself, or when its services are requested, CMRU works in conjunction with on-site personnel under the direction of other responsible agencies. In an effort to maintain a high skill level, the unit holds two classroom training sessions and one field exercise per month. The unit also holds a monthly business meeting and distributes a monthly newsletter to keep friends and members informed of our activities.
Donations made to the unit are tax deductible.
