The division started with two full time employees and two volunteers. Prior to the formation of this division, all rescues were handled by Civil Defense. Since Sheriff Harry Lee has taken office, the L.A.S.E.R. Division has grown to twelve full time employees under the command of Major Robert Woods and over forty volunteers. The Reserve L.A.S.E.R. made up of volunteer officers, support the L.A.S.E.R. Division in search and rescue operations, dive calls and flights. In addition they are responsible for medical support to the sheriff’s office when needed and teaching First Aid and CPR at the academy. |
