@Nighthiker From the Superstition Search And Rescue website:

"Today wilderness search and rescues calls are primarily handled by county and state helicopters with small support ground teams, but we continue to respond to active and cold cases when requested.
We have grown into a professional and social organization of local volunteers that maintain highly trained skills to be used under the direction of the Apache Junction Police Department."
