Midshires Search and Rescue Organisation

Home

Welcome to the website of the Midshires Search & Rescue Organisation (Midshires)!

Midshires is a lowland search and rescue organisation. We can be called out by the police (we are used by the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire police forces, and by the Milton Keynes division of Thames Valley police), county Emergency Planning Officers or other search teams. Our role is to assist in the search for members of the public who have gone missing, particularly if they are deemed to be especially vulnerable, and to assist county teams in dealing with other types of civil emergencies.

We hope that you will browse our web site for more information about Midshires and the work that we do.

However, if you have any further questions or would like to find out more about us, please email us at enquiries@midshires.org.uk

Midshires is Ten Years Old!

Midshires was founded in 1999 and is now celebrating its tenth anniversary.

We have grown from a small group of friends to a larger, more professional team, able to supply fully trained resources to the police and to county emergency planing teams at any time, day or night. Fortunately we have also managed to keep a sense of fun and friendship within the team, despite the many changes which have taken place, and which will continue as we build for the future.

A few of our current members were there when Midshires was formed and we thank them, and all of our other members past and present, for their help and commitment. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of the members of the public and our own team of supporters, for all of their hard work and support over the years.

We look forward eagerly to the challenges of the next ten years!
