Over one hundred years ago, small towns on the American frontier learned that there was one person whom they could always turn to for help in an emergency; the local sheriff. The frontier sheriff served their communities as a police officer, paramedic and emergency coordinator, and was known to all by his distinctive “Tin Star” badge. |

There are times when STAR Touring members, like the citizens of the frontier towns, need special assistance from people trained as police officers, physicians, nurses, fire fighters, paramedics, EMT's or Search and Rescue. |
|
The purpose of “Tin Star” is to allow STAR Touring members to identify and access a team of volunteers in time of need. If an accident or emergency occurs, or a member is in need of assistance (bike break down, stranded or any other situation where help is needed), the “Tin Star” member in the group could be called on to lend a hand and/or to take control of the situation until the local emergency services arrive. We thank all of the members listed here who have stepped forward and volunteered to help. |
