Our general Membership Meeting is held once a month on the 2nd Thursday of the month. We meet at the Payson Public Library 328 N McLane Rd Payson, AZ—at 7:00 PM. Join us and bring a friend.
Everyone welcome!
How to Engage Our Service
If you have an emergency, call 911 or contact your local law enforcement office and ask the County Sheriff to dispatch TRSAR.
Under Arizona law, search and rescue groups can only respond to an emergency by authorization of the County Sheriff’s Office. Therefore, it is important that you do not call TRSAR directly, thus causing a delay in response time.
