We are the official search and rescue team supporting Thames Valley Police in Berkshire. Operated entirely by highly trained volunteers, we specialise in searching for high-risk missing persons, including vulnerable adults and children, across urban, rural, and remote environments. We also support Royal Berkshire Fire & Rescue Service (RBFRS) with our drone and water rescue capabilities, assisting in incidents such as water-related emergencies and major incidents.
Available 24/7, 365 days a year, our team can deploy specialist search resources, including:
- Foot search and rescue teams
- Swift water rescue and flood response units
- Thermal imaging drones and aerial search support
Wildfire Training with the fire service
Our drone team attended a joint training session today in Swinley Forest alongside all three Thames Valley Fire services (Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, and Oxfordshire). The goal was to demonstrate how aerial drone surveillance provides a bird’s-eye view of a simulated wildfire as it moves through dense woodland.
