Training for July began quickly for new dive team members. The team began using the new full face masks for diving in hazardous situations. Team members were shown the basics search patterns and us evarious equipment during a search and or recovery operation.
The formation and purpose of the Loudon County Dive Rescue Team is to be prepared to execute rescue and recovery operations in or on the waterways of Loudon County within the scope of team training, experience and equipment limitations as designated from time to time by team leadership and Standard Operating Guidelines.
In 1995, the Loudon County Dive Rescue Team (LCDRT) was organized
to assist public services agencies and organizations with underwater
search, rescue, recovery, and crime scene investigations. LCDRT combines
the unique skills of police officers, fire-rescue, and EMS trained
personnel with the field of search and rescue, and recovery diving
to form a specialty team.
LCDRT relies on donations for most of its operation and training budget.
LCDRT is a 501 (C3) non-profit organization your donations are tax deductible!
We receive most of our support from the community through donations and fund
raising events. LCDRT needs support from the community to maintain our equipment
and for training to improve our rescue capabilities. Donations are gratefully
accepted.. Make checks payable to LCDRT or go to our DONATIONS page
and donate through Paypal. Please send us your name and address with your
donation so that we may acknowledge your contribution. Thank you very
much! The dive team is solely supported by the United Way of Knoxville
and by individual donations.
The need was for an all volunteer organization of highly skilled and trained
dive/rescue professionals. Who were available for any water event or tragedy
that occurred in Loudon County or the surrounding area.

LCDRT gets Radio Repeater ON AIR The Loudon County Dive Rescue Team has crossed a major hurdle, with the final deployment and testing of a UHF radio repeater. This will allow the Loudon County 911 Dispatch Center to contact and follow the movement of the LCDRT during activations of the Dive Team. The team has been working towards this operational event for years and finally after licensing and logistical problems the dive team now has their own radio communications infrastructure which should allow for excellent county wide coverage. |
