Rampart Search and Rescue

Rampart Search and Rescue

Rampart Search and Rescue serves communities in Adams County, Colorado. Its name is derived from the '70's TV show "Emergency!" where Rampart was the name of the hospital. Rampart search and rescue has been in operation sense 1973. The mission of Rampart Search & Rescue is to provide search and rescue assistance, free of charge, to local, county, state and federal agencies during missing person searches, and both man-made and natural disaster related emergencies.

Rampart search and rescue works under the supervision of the Adam's County Sheriff's Department in Colorado. They have 40 adult members and 12 Explorers. Their work does not confined them to just Colorado, they have responded to disasters like hurricane Katrina.

Rampart Search and Rescue (K-9) search dogs respond to search and rescue (SAR) incidents. That are training search dogs year round (weekly) to respond on calls related to missing and/or lost people in the county's urban and suburban country and for mutual aid "mountain" country. Their training covers trailing, tracking, air scenting and water searches.

Explorers train alongside the adult members in all aspects of search and rescue. Their Explorers supply trained people to assist local law enforcement in the conduct of search and rescue operations in wilderness and urban settings, and provide valuable community service during disasters and support community events such as parades and celebrations. They also help the Adams County in their Police Academy as victims in field training. The 12 or so young men and women participating in the Explorer program experience a strict disciplined approach to becoming mature young adults. They learn about the importance of education, teamwork, leadership, and community service. Since its inception in 2002, the Rampart Explorer program had successfully graduated over 60 young men and women. The Explorer program keeps kids off the streets, encourages youth in the community to look at Public Safety officers as role models, and instills in them discipline and purpose in life.

Rampart search and rescue also provides training and community safety talks free of charge.

As to their funding - there are absolutely no Federal, State, County or City funds provided for this worthwhile search and rescue team and their community programs – all funds are raised by the participants and other community fund raising events.
