These members of the Mendocino County Sheriff's Search and Rescue units will be
among those gathered Saturday, Feb. 9th at the Grange Hall in Willits for dinner,
and a joint installation of officers. They represent the Sheriff's Posse, Air Squadron,
Four Wheel Drive Patrol and the Under-Water Squad.
Starting From the left, they
include Don King , public relations for the group, holding some of the underwater gear
of Ed Enzier, Next in line: Irvin Brown of the Four wheel drive patrol;
Larry Brown, Search coordinator; Sheriff Tim Shea; Duell Parks, Air Squadron Commander;
and Bobby Tilley, Commander of the Mounted Posse with horse Dolly.
Shea said the groups are a tremendous asset to the sheriff's office. They save
virtually thousands of dollars every year by donating their time, and equipment in
search and rescue. If it weren't for these groups, The Sheriff's department would be
hard pressed. They do a superb job.
Shea noted that in addition to helping in actual
searches , the units put considerable time doing hands-on type training, as well as
having an occasional social event, like the one planned for Saturday.
They are a dedicated group, he said. He was anxious that the public know that this team is always
in need of special equipment to find the lost and save lives. A few dollars toward
search and rescue equipment for these units is a darn good investment he concluded.
