Custer County Search & Rescue

Custer County Search and Rescue is an all volunteer team dedicated to providing search, rescue,
emergency response, and outdoor safety education
to the citizens of Custer County, Colorado.

We are dispatched by the Custer County Sheriff’s Office. We respond to approximately 20 calls per year, ranging from overdue hikers to lost mushroom hunter to technical rescues.

We also respond to aid other counties that request help for search & rescue missions.

CCSAR does not charge for rescue or other services.

You can help save lives by making a tax-deductible contribution to help defray operating costs.
