A large proportion of the GSAR Search Manager performance objectives are knowledge based. A hands–on learning approach is essential to the teaching of these subjects. The lesser portion of the GSAR Search Manager is skill related. It cannot be emphasized enough that the GSAR Search Managers are responsible for the management of the GSAR Team or Community Response Group and that the consequences of error are high.
Due to the complex protocols taught at this level, no local training is authorized. The School of Community Government will schedule courses, which will be the only means of attaining this qualification.
