If you'd like to join NORLSAR and help make a difference to missing people and their families in and around Norfolk, then please contact us by email.

Just by asking for some details you are not committing and we are fully aware that searching for missing people may not be suitable for everyone. If you are interested, then you should try and make it to one of our training sessions. The dates and locations can be found on the diary dates page. It's a good idea to let us know you're coming so that you can be informed of any changes.

Should you choose to become a member, you would need to complete our initial training course. We ask that you attend 5 training session and our search technician weekend. To remain on the active call out list, you must complete our minimum training program every year. Details of this can be seen by visiting our training page.

As a trained member, you may also be called out to take part in a search for a missing person overnight or during working hours - so you will always need your gear packed and ready to go at a moment's notice, we ask you to be realistic about your availability. Talk to us, as we understand that not everyone can be on call all of the time, due to work and family commitments.

Joining our organisation comes with big benefits - you'll be helping people, making new friends, learning new skills and we do try to have a lot of fun.

I joined Norlsar in 2005, as I wanted to meet new people and do something completely different to my day job. Although I am not a searcher, I help in incident control during callouts.

You don't have to be a searcher to join our team, there can be a role for anyone who is willing to give up some of their spare time.

If you have any queries about joining click here to contact our membership secretary.
