SAR monthly training October 10th, 2026

Our team meets every second Saturday of the month to keep our skills fresh.
This training consisted of our yearly Physical Qualification hike.
Each individual has a weighted pack and is required to finish the hike in a reasonable amount of time.
This hike is done after dark and is usually a minimum of 7 miles.

Superstition Mountains is where we call home, so that is where we train

On this hike we came across a rattle snake 🐍 peacefully coiled in the middle of the trail.
A few slow moving scorpion 🦂
And a small microburst of rain🌧️ 💨

**Always be prepared for rain,shine, hot or cold weather. Have an appropriate and reliable headlamp, and watch for critters **

🐾Ronin needs your help!
I'm excited to share that Ronin has been accepted into the Spike's K9 Fund program to receive a ballistic vest!
As a K9 with the Pinal County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue Posse, Ronin responds to searches throughout Arizona. Whether it's searching for missing persons or assisting other law enforcement agencies, he works in rugged desert terrain filled with hazards like cactus, sharp rocks, barbed wire, and wildlife.
A ballistic vest will help protect Ronin while he's training and responding to missions, allowing him to continue serving safely.
If you'd like to help keep Ronin safe, please consider making a donation through the link below. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference.
Thank you for your support! If you can't donate, please consider sharing this post to help us reach more people. 🐾❤️

Our training schedule remains intensive as we transition from June’s technical maneuvers to July’s night operations.

Last month, Ground and TRT members converged at C**n Bluff for a specialized stokes litter rescue. The session provided an excellent environment for our teams to coordinate complex litter handling and patient transport.

This weekend, we pivoted to night operations with a hike to the petroglyphs. Focusing on nighttime navigation and medical care in low-light conditions—such as the ankle splinting exercises pictured here—ensures our members remain prepared for call-outs at any hour. These consecutive sessions highlight the consistent work required to maintain peak readiness.

Our hearts ache as we learn of the crash of Ranger 56. In moments like these, words are never enough to capture the depth and range of emotions we feel.

The aviation rescue community in Arizona is small and tightly knit. It is made up of dedicated professionals and volunteers who are willing to go anywhere, at any time, on a moment’s notice to help those in need. DPS Ranger flys both law enforcement and rescue missions, a true testament to their skill, professionalism and unwavering commitment to the people of Arizona.

PCSO has a very close relationship with DPS Ranger. They have assisted us on countless missions—transporting our personnel into the field, extracting our teams safely, and even helping with the evacuation of injured PCSO members. They are more than partners; they are our brothers and sisters.
