Baltimore Shomrim created a new division Maryland Volunteer Search and Rescue in the beginning of 2020, to address the growing need of a quick response search and rescue network of volunteers.
The goal is to implement stronger ties with local agencies as well as establish more specific workflows. Having a set of standard operating procedures allows first responders to immediately go into action when responding to a need, and it is this ability to act fast that can mean the difference between life and death.
