CV High School Bridges Program Rappel with Montrose Search and Rescue



The CV High Bridges Program (a youth program developed to promote confidence in dealing with everyday challenges) participated in a rappelling day with the Montrose Search and Rescue Team. This is an annual outing for the Bridges Program. Students were instructed, supervised, and allowed to rappel down the face of the Devils Gate Dam. For most of them, they had to overcome their fear of heights, and trust the equipment they were wearing. Every year the students come away with positive comments and experiences. For more information about the Bridges Program contact Deputy Shinagawa at CV High School (818) 249-5871.



Sheriff's Search and Rescue Team personnel are reserve sheriff's deputies who volunteer their time to help others for $1 a year, and who partner with sheriff's civilian volunteers who volunteer for free. There are over 150 members of the eight Search and Rescue teams of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, who were activated for over 450 search and rescue missions last year, making it one of the most active counties for search and rescue missions in the nation. Reserve deputies and civilian volunteers are supervised by full-time sheriff's deputies.



Did you know? There are over 850 LASD reserve sheriff's deputies who work patrol, jails, search and rescue, motorcycle patrol, mounted posse, investigations, and more, as team members of the second largest policing agency in the nation. http://lasdreserve.org/
