About Us

The Yavapai County Search and Rescue Team (YCSRT) is a group of over 100 dedicated volunteers trained and ready to respond to wilderness emergencies.

At any hour of the day, law enforcement agencies, national park and military officials may call upon the Team to aid an unfortunate victim. We are sub-divided into several groups of specialties referred to as units. Members are encouraged to join and train with more than one unit. Each unit is on constant alert to search for and effect the rescue of hikers, skiers, rock climbers and outdoorsmen whenever and wherever tragedy strikes.

The Team performs about 95% of it's missions in Yavapai County. However, it has traveled outside of the county to accomplish it's lifesaving missions. Members of the Yavapai County Search and Rescue Team, acknowledge and commit to honor to the best of their ability the following values:
