Missouri Valley Search and Rescue Team, based in St. Louis, Missouri provides FREE Search and Rescue services in both Missouri and Illinois. We can only be activated by direct contact from Law Enforcement or another Agency Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) over the missing person case. We are unable to respond or deploy directly to a search from a families direct phone call or request. Families must request that a representative from the agency in charge contact us at
As a 501(c)(3) Not-For-Profit, 100% volunteer organization the Missouri Valley Search and Rescue Team relies on the generosity of the community in order to provide our search services when they are needed. Donations are always welcome and greatly appreciated as we use it for needed equipment and training. Because of our generouse community we never charge for our Search Services!
