Ocean State Search And Rescue, Inc. (OSSAR)

Welcome

Ocean State Search And Rescue, Inc. (OSSAR) was incorporated on March 14th, 2002.

OSSAR is a 501c3, non-profit, volunteer organization. Recognizing the need for a search and rescue team dedicated to the people within the State of Rhode Island, OSSAR members have worked together to adapt and overcome; striving to become a well rounded team able to complete the tasks at hand.

OSSAR has a simple mission, to assist the Rhode Island State Police (RISP) and the Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency (RI EMA) with search and rescue skills necessary to locate missing persons within the state. With this philosophy we hope to bring positive closure to all families.
