Today BAYSAR held its final training event at our 1570 Airport Road facility. BAYSAR trained and certified a total of 6 OPP officers from the North Bay Detachment as Project Lifesaver Electronic Search Specialists on October 17 and 18.

BAYSAR will have improved capacity to support public safety as we move into our new training facility in the old terminal building of the North Bay Airport. BAYSAR will be sharing much of our new facility with CASARA North Bay. Our collaboration will enable us to provide an improved level of SAR service to our community.
