The team works with Police, Ambulance Service, Fire Service and HM Coastguard. This gives access to helicopters, extra 4×4 vehicles, dive teams etc. When the weather is good, it is sometimes possible to evacuate injured persons by helicopter or, use heat seeking cameras on helicopters to help find a missing person. The weather on Dartmoor sometimes makes this impossible and the only solution then is to use people and dogs.
The team is entirely voluntary and receive no government funding. The Team relies on donations and grant funding, from business or organisations.
