ETHOS SEARCH OPERATIONS TEAM DOES NOT SELF DEPLOY
We deploy only at the request of Law Enforcement, Fire, EMA or any agency having jurisdiction
Ethos strongly advocates for one thing: standards. Ohio lacks statewide certification, oversight, or credentialing for volunteer SAR teams which leaves room for operational chaos, ethical breaches, and broken trust with the agencies we serve. Without enforceable standards, even the most capable teams are sidelined while families wait. This petition calls for a state-mandated certification that ensures SAR responders are trained, accountable, and ready when lives are on the line.





OUR MISSION
Our mission is to uphold the highest standards of integrity, expertise, professionalism, and trust in every search operation. Guided by our unwavering moral compass, we provide services at no cost to communities with a steadfast commitment to utilizing best practices and modern techniques on all search operations.
