INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The Sheriff’s Search and Rescue Team (SSRT) plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and well-
being of individuals in Oakland County and beyond. With their professional response capabilities
and specialized equipment, SSRT significantly enhances the effectiveness of search and rescue
operations, especially in challenging environments and critical situations. SSRT responds with
trained personnel and specialized equipment to scenes involving wide-area searches for missing or
suicidal persons, water rescues, ice rescues, drownings, and provides support for search and
rescue operations during natural disasters, confined space incidents, marine fuel spills, and other
technical rescue operations.
The Sheriff has agreed to allow the Troy Police Department and the Highland Township Fire
Department to participate in the Sheriff’s Search and Rescue Team.
All employment-related cost (wages, overtime, benefits, etc.), training costs, and equipment costs
for SSRT members of the above-named agencies are the responsibility of the agency. OCSO is
responsible for providing monthly SSRT training.

o All employment-related costs of the Municipality-employee SSRT member, including,
but not limited to, wages, salary, overtime, benefits, local, state and federal taxes
associated with employment, and worker’s compensation, shall be the sole
responsibility of the Municipality at all times.
o All training costs related to the certification of the Municipality-employee SSRT
member.
o All equipment costs for the Municipality-employee SSRT member. The OCSO will not
