Search & Rescue Success in Colorado

The Summit County Water Rescue Team (SCWRT) operates under the statutory authority of the Summit County Sheriff’s Office. The team is comprised of eight volunteer members that provide approximately 2,000 man-hours each year in missions throughout Summit and the surrounding counties. In 2010, thanks to a donation from the Adam Brown Memorial Fund, the team procured Side Scan Sonar. In 2018 after two years of research the SCWRT was able to raise enough money through a Grant from Dillon Reservoir Recreation Area Board, Summit Foundation (Breck Gives) and several private donors to purchase the much-needed complementing piece of equipment for the SCWRT which was VideoRay Pro 4 remotely operated vehicle (ROV), making them the only team in the state with this capability.
