What: Field Trip to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department Aviation/Search and Rescue Unit.  They love doing field trips and showing kids their special equipment!

The Ventura County Aviation Unit is a combined unit consisting of the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office and Ventura County Fire Department.  Under the direction of a Sheriff’s Captain and a Fire Department Division Chief, the unit responds to a variety of calls including search and rescue, law enforcement, medivac, and firefighting. The staff consists of four full time pilots, a Sheriff’s Sergeant, two Ventura County Fire Captains, four full time crew chiefs, numerous collateral crew chiefs from both agencies, and a complete mechanic staff.  Air Unit flight crews are trained in such specialties as night vision goggle operation, scuba diving, swift water rescue, and emergency medical procedures.  Each day a member of the Ventura County SAR Medical Team staffs the rescue helicopter with a Flight Physician, Flight Nurse, or Flight Paramedic for rescue and medivac calls.   The aviation unit is staffed with two flight crews 365 days a year and available 24 hours a day from our hangar at the Camarillo Airport. https://sheriff.venturacounty.gov/special-services/air-unit/
