Carroll County Search and Rescue-2021
Standard Operating Procedure for Call Out
Carroll County Search and Rescue operates under the command and direction of the Carroll County Sheriff’s department with the Sheriff or his designee being the “Responsible Agent”. We will also support Carroll County Emergency Management upon request. We currently have no Memorandum of Understanding with the Virginia Department of Emergency Management; therefore are not on their call out list. Carroll County has a mutual aid agreement with all other counties in the Commonwealth of Virginia. If the county calls upon us as part of that mutual aid agreement we will act as one of the many resources of this county.
Our call out procedure is as follows;The Sheriff will first make contact via phone to Carroll County Rescue Squad contacts in the following order.
