Search and Rescue

The King County Sheriff’s Office is responsible for search and rescue activities in King County under the mandates of RCW 38.52.

Each year, volunteer groups along with Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue (SAR) personnel respond to numerous incidents involving lost or injured hikers, hunters and children, down missing aircrafts.

SAR volunteers also assist in times of natural disasters like flooding, windstorms and earthquakes.

 

Our Air Support / Search & Rescue Team is world-class  

Their mission is to save lives. The Sheriff's Office Air Support Unit has completed close to 700 air rescues.  The people rescued never receive a bill for this service.
