The San Mateo County Mounted Search and Rescue unit consists of civilians who volunteer their own time, money and horses for search and rescue operations in close cooperation with the sheriff's office and other agencies.
The San Mateo County Mounted Search and Rescue unit is made up of horse and rider teams certified in 25 skill areas. The unit coordinates closely with other specialized groups during an emergency situation to ensure the best possible outcome. This volunteer mounted unit is just one of the many ways the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office is developing cost-efficient resources to serve the citizens of the county.
