My Nonprofit Reviews

The planning of this search was for execution days Saturday and Sunday only, and planned a month ahead. This posting for this non profit is incorrect, as the organization sent a bolo out to all searchers and that was clearly stated in it's content. This volunteer with the negative comment was a first time searcher and wanted to arrive on Thursday and that request was denied as the organization can not pay for searchers to sit in hotel rooms waiting for a search.

The victims name should not be attached to a negative posting of any kind. This shows the level of "experience" of this volunteer. However, what is most up setting is that this person spelled her name wrong; the search was for Hope Meeks.

There was plenty of supplies, water, snacks items and lunch was also provided free to all searchers. In attendance was LEO, and many of the additional volunteers in attendance were CPR certified and had above standard training of a national level to include SAR Tech II.

The reason the area was visited by a few searchers with the presence of LEO was to assure access to the area and for visual results only, this is done at ever single search. I personally have attended with this organization. The assignments are provided to search volunteers for execution and most are not privileged to other information that the organization may have obtained.

This organization has never faltered in a search plan, even under extreme conditions of weather or locations, however I know first hand due to heat this search was called off for a return of the following day plan in an effort to protect all volunteers and safety issues with heat temperatures.

Any professional search person should be trained to carry on their person, survival kits, first aid and supplies for them and if obtaining a K9 for their partner, three days of mentioned supplies.

This organization has a great national standing in the search of missing persons, advocating for victims and working with LEO agencies across the nation.
