What our community is saying

  1. “ILSAR has been a powerful way to launch the patrol season. It gives our members, especially emerging leaders, a stronger understanding of incident response, inter-agency collaboration, and decision-making under pressure. Participants leave the program more confident, more capable, and more deeply engaged in lifesaving.” 
    ILSAR Lead Coordinator, Xavier Korbel
