Sussex Search and Rescue (SusSAR) is the primary volunteer resource used by Sussex Police in the search and rescue of vulnerable missing people. We are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and are fully approved by Sussex Police policy. SusSAR is staffed purely by volunteers, who as well as covering the whole of East and West Sussex, can also be called out to assist other Search and Rescue groups throughout the UK. As part of our wider remit to help keep Sussex safe, Sussex Search and Rescue supports Project Kraken [PDF 201kb]
