The
Ohio Valley Search and Rescue, Inc. (OVSAR) was organized in
August, 1991 by two area firefighters to serve the tri-state
 community
of southwest Indiana, southeastern Illinois, and north central Kentucky.
The team received the first call for assistance in the fall of 1992. The team's
current roster lists several active members, and mission ready K9. As of 2025, the team has been dispatched for a total of 919 searches in 7 states. This
steady request for assistance can be attributed to the successful results and the high standards of continuous training all OVSAR
members and K9 must acquire and maintain. When requested
by local authorities, OVSAR responds quickly and efficiently |
|
to tri-state
area calls within a 100 mile radius of Evansville, Indiana. The team treats
all searches as an emergency. It is important that if and when the need
arises, you contact your local law enforcement agency quickly and ask for
OVSAR's assistance.
