"Paul and I served together, in SAR - Search and Rescue. This was during the time frame 2006 - 2016. We both worked about 10 years each, at The Clark County Search and Rescue Team. We overlapped about 5 years. Paul was a supervisor, most of that time. I believe he was head of SAR, for a while. There are several SAR organization in the area. We moved around from on to another, but we all knew each other at the working level. We would be mixed tougher, on missions. We searched for missing persona and did crime scene searcheers. Paul will be missed. John Polos, Batle Ground, Wa."
