Quad Cities Search and Rescue

Quad Cities Search and Rescue Welcome to Quad Cities Search and Rescue! We are the first responders of the Quad Cities Missing Persons Network.

The Quad Cities Missing Persons Network (QCMPN) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. Quad Cities Search and Rescue is a major divisional arm of the network. Dennis Harker, our Executive Director and the founder of the Quad Cities Missing Persons Network once said in a letter:

"QCMPN is a highly regarded and respective non-profit entity in the Quad City region. The mission of the Quad Citi

es Missing Persons Network is to provide guidance and support to families and friends of people who are missing and may be in extreme danger of harm or injury...”

"...QCMPN is a community-wide network of volunteers [and members] who can act quickly through the dissemination of information using social media to rally support to search for the missing person, communicate with law enforcement, media, and each other in a coordinated and focused manner..." The organization works to foster the awareness and development of creating a service dedicated to missing persons, their families, and friends. The Quad Cities Missing Persons Network's Search and Rescue Program is vital to the life and well-being of the Quad Cities Missing Persons Network. Quad Cities Search and Rescue helps raise awareness, through service, by providing search and rescue of the missing. We take our position as search and rescue members within the organization very seriously. Search and rescue is a very valuable component of the ongoing work of the network. Active, productive, and dedicated search and rescue teams ensure higher success rates locating and returning the missing to their loved ones when a particular case calls our trained search and rescue group into action. Quad Cities Search and Rescue members are trained under the standards & guidelines of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Emergency Management Institute,

Field expertise, training, and certification of Quad Cities Search and Rescue members are conducted by the Illinois Search and Rescue Council. A positive, collaborative, working relationship between the Quad Cities Missing Persons Network, news media, local, county, and state law enforcement is important to Quad Cities Search and Rescue. Search and rescue (SAR) is the search for and provision of aid to people who are in distress or imminent danger. The general field of search and rescue includes many specialty sub-fields, typically determined by the type of terrain the search is conducted over. These include mountain, ground search and rescue, mounted search and rescue, the use of search and rescue dogs, urban search and rescue in cities, air-water, and more.
