Recoveries
The Dive Team consists of nine Sheriff’s Deputies and one Sergeant who have been selected because of their interest and abilities. Team members are sent to several professional and public safety training courses in order to conduct water rescues and perform recovery operations utilizing the latest technology and equipment. The Dive team performs underwater searches for the recovery of evidence, swift-water rescue, cliff operations and is responsible for the recovery of drowning victims.
Divers are called upon to perform these tasks in the many diverse water environments that exist within El Dorado County. From the deep, cold waters of Lake Tahoe and the abundant high-country lakes of the Sierras, to the surging waters of the Consumnes River and South Fork of the American River. In addition to the varied environments of El Dorado County, the Dive Team routinely responds throughout the State of California to assist other agencies and departments through the California Office of Emergency Services Law Enforcement Mutual Aid System.
