Wicklow Civil Defence

Wicklow Civil Defence & Dublin Wicklow Mountain Rescue are often tasked to assist An Garda Síochána with missing or injured persons, over the weekend the 2 team came together in a joint training exercise demonstrating the importance of team work and sharing knowledge #SAR #Misper

Last night our boat crew completed field testing of the #PUWMA Sonar system, this recent upgrade is an additional resource to our missing person searching capabilities, One we hope we won't have to use too often. #Wicklow #SAR #Misper #WaterRescue #CivilDefence #Sonar #Rescue
