Specialized Rescue and Recovery Team

   The Athens County Sheriff’s Office is a proud member of the Athens County Specialized Rescue and Recovery Team (ACSRRT). The ACSRRT is comprised of dedicated law enforcement officers, fire/rescue personnel, and medical services personnel. 

    The ACSRRT provides service for several specialized fields that normal emergency services lack the training in and equipment for.  The ACSRRT has the ability to put divers in the water year round for a multitude of operations, conduct high angle rescue operations involving cliffs and rock faces, and assisting in the efforts of recovering individuals whom are lost or injured in wooded areas.
The ACSRRT works with numerous local, state and federal agencies and at times is called upon by other jurisdictions to assist them in their specialized field.
