• Snowmobile and Water Patrols monitor our trails and waterways and promote safety through education.
• Mounted Reserve and K-9 Units work with trained animals to provide search and rescue, tracking and drug detection services.
• The Dive Team and Special Emergency Response Team (SERT) are called in during high-risk situations.
