Kalamazoo County, Michigan The Kalamazoo County Water Safety and Recovery Scuba Dive Team is a volunteer group of over 30 Public Safety Divers and support personnel that assists the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Department, other Law Enforcement agencies and Fire Departments in Kalamazoo and neighboring counties with water-borne searches and evidence recovery.
Service to the community. . . . . Team members are CPR-First Aid certified and are dispatched via pagers for rapid response to water related emergencies. We have a "K-9 SAR" Cadaver Dog and Canine Handler on emergency call for the Dive Team. This Cadaver Dog is trained for locatingd human remains that are submerged in water.
Dive Team members, working with the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Department Marine Patrol & Kalamazoo Safe Kids Coalition provide educational sessions to local schools, Girl Scout and Boy Scout groups stressing water safety. Are you interested in becoming a member? Do you live near Kalamazoo, Michigan? You do not need to be a scuba diver to be a member, but if you are, we provide most of your Dive Rescue Training for free. If you are not a diver, you can assist the Team with such tasks as Line Tender, Boat Operator, or Dive Site Security. |
