The police are responsible for co-ordinating mountain search and rescues throughout Scotland

The Moffat team work closely with Dumfries and Galloway Police www.dumfriesandgalloway.police.uk who alert the team when they receive a 999 call, requiring our assistance.

The police decide and co-ordinate which rescue agencies are required in any particular case. At many incidents the team may work alongside;

• The Search and Rescue Dogs www.Sarda.org.uk
• Nith Inshore Rescue Service www.nithrescue.org.uk
• Royal Navy and RAF Search and Rescue Helicopters
• The Scottish Ambulance Service.
• The Scottish Coast Guard

Once the Police alert the Team Leader of the incident, all members on the call out list are contacted. The team is co-ordinated by the team leader and deputy, who will plan the search with information that has been provided, linking with the Police throughout.

The team also provides safety cover for a number of hill races within the region, as well as at local community events throughout our area.

To ensure the continued running of the team, various fund-raising events are organised throughout the year - Donations
