In the emergency services and military world individuals wear stripes on the left sleeve of their uniforms to signify how long they have been in their respective fields. Many times we in the volunteer world put in countless years that go unnoticed.

So our board of directors thought it would be fitting to recognize our members who have shown many years of dedication to the team and SAR community, So last night at our monthly meeting we adopted the Years of service stripes and presented members with theirs to wear proudly on their uniforms.

Every 3 years members must be recertified. So it was decided, that each stripe signifies 3 years of service received upon completion of their recertification.
Each Search Team Member (STM) receives a silver outlined stripe, and Search Team Leader (STL) receives a gold outlined stripe.

Job well done to our members who have VOLUNTEERED their time, effort and dedication to recieve their stripes.
