Welcome!

The Coconino County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue Unit is a volunteer arm of the Sheriff’s Office, involved in performing the Sheriff’s statutorily mandated function of conducting and coordinating search and rescue operations within the county.

​

Search and rescue operations are supervised by a sergeant and deputies assigned as Search and Rescue Coordinators. The Unit is trained by the Sheriff’s Office to provide vital search and rescue services to the second-largest county in the nation, encompassing approximately 18,600 square miles of diverse and often remote, rugged terrain: from the canyons and high desert of Sedona, to the Mogollon Rim in the south, Humphreys Peak (12,637') near Flagstaff, and beyond the Grand Canyon and Vermilion Cliffs to the north. We are primarily a remote area or wilderness team.
