The Gallatin County Sheriff Search and Rescue has opened a new volunteer recruitment phase for its Valley Team, inviting interested residents to apply. The team is seeking volunteers who are experienced in outdoor environments, reside in Gallatin County and have a background working in structured team settings.
GCSSR specializes in year-round backcountry search and rescue operations across Gallatin County. Volunteers work around the clock to locate, access, stabilize and transport individuals to safety, serving both residents and visitors. Becoming a full member requires a minimum one-year commitment. Recruits must complete an orientation program, attend monthly team training and respond to call-outs. Members typically dedicate 15 to 20 or more hours per month to search and rescue duties, according to the recruitment form.
GCSSR notes that positions are limited and popular and encourages applicants to carefully follow all instructions during the application process. After completing the form, applicants will then receive an email with additional materials and instructions.
Questions about the recruitment process can be directed to GCSSAR@gallatin.mt.gov.
