Red Deer County Peace Officer Wins Award
By Sheldon Spackman
A red Deer County Peace Officer has been recognized for his years of service as a search and rescue volunteer.
Irv Heide received his Alberta Emergency Services Medal from Alberta Acting Fire Commissioner Spence Sample during the 2016 SARSCENE National SAR Conference in Edmonton October 16th.
In a release, County officials say SARscene is the largest annual gathering of the search and rescue community in the country and brings together search and rescue responders and emergency services, public educators, policy makers and stakeholders from across Canada and the world.
The organization provides an opportunity for participants to share knowledge, improve skills and abilities, learn about the latest technologies and services and fosters continued cooperation across all levels of search and rescue and emergency management in Canada.
In addition to conference sessions, SARscene provides a venue for national search and rescue organizations to host their annual meetings as well as training courses for conference delegates.
