Composition and Mission Statement
The Maryland Search Teams Task Force (MSTTF) is comprised of search teams within the state of Maryland. ALL Maryland search teams are encouraged to become active participants of the MSTTF. The Task Force provides a dynamic forum where teams come together to familiarize themselves with each other, plan and participate in joint training exercises, discuss/resolve issues facing search teams within the State, and enhance awareness of need for utilization of trained search personnel - with the ultimate focus of providing the best and most responsive service possible to lost/missing persons and their families.
