3 The Manatee County Marine Rescue Division 2017
4 M ission Statement : To provide our residents and tourists with professional lifeguard response and rescue on and off our county s beaches, along with the gulf and intracoastal waterways while administering quality on-scene ALS/BLS emergency medical care. The Division: The division's main objective is to watch over and respond to the needs of residents and the nearly 3 million visitors that enjoy our county's lifeguarded beaches and surrounding areas each year. This high influx of people to our beaches creates a wide variety of incidents inside the park's boundaries. Lifeguards effectively manage medical emergencies, traumatic injuries, environmental emergencies, near drowning's, marine accidents, lost children, and social disturbances. We also enforce the County's Park Ordinances on our beaches and adjacent waterways. The Marine Rescue Division began in the late 1950 s within the Parks and Recreation Department. During the early 1960 s the county opened a second public beach and the need to increase the number of lifeguards became evident. These lifeguards had no real "formal" training and relied solely on their own skills as swimmers and surfers. Only given the bare necessities which included a torpedo buoy and maybe a surfboard they were some of the last "old school" lifeguards. As the job changed so did the training requirements. Our County's lifeguards increased their training and tried to lead the profession in these changing times. In 1991 the division moved from Parks and Recreation to the Department of Public Safety. Our standards were elevated to incorporate Emergency Medical Technician, USCG Captains License, Code Enforcement Officer, Advance SCUBA, and Rescue Diver certifications. We are a certified licensed training provider (LTP) facility for the American Red Cross but congruently use the standards set forth by the United States Lifeguard Association. We provide all of the in-house training and certification that our lifeguards require. The Marine Rescue Division's elevated standards of training led to the advanced response capabilities that we now provide today. The division crossed a threshold when it started to be dispatched to emergency calls via the 911 system. This was made possible by our integration into Public Safety, EMT status, and being recognized as first responders capable of administering on scene BLS (Basic Life Support) care. The Emergency Communications Center (911 system) dispatches us to water and land borne emergencies along the 27 plus miles of coastline. The major importance of this advancement was that we became a part of the 911 system and not just a user of it. We were able to achieve FRS Special Risk Retirement in 2004 for all of our Lifeguard/EMT s with Manatee County buying back the previous worked years from 1999 to Our lifeguards play a crucial role in the event of a disaster in Manatee County. Lifeguards from our Division collaborate with Law Enforcement and Emergency Management when the barrier islands are evacuated. They aide in such things as traffic control, medical care, victim rescue, and patient transport. Lifeguards are some of the last emergency personnel to evacuate the island as a life-threatening storm approaches. Post-storm, the Division is involved in such activities as search and rescue, recovery operations, medical triage/care etc. The Division may assign lifeguards to EMS units that need their swimming abilities for victim recovery and rescue in affected areas within our county. Once the barrier islands are accessible, lifeguards from Marine Rescue will secure the beaches and assist local law enforcement in post-storm recovery duties. In 2016, Squad 4 was created as a quick response non-transport ALS (Advanced Life Support) unit which is stationed solely on the island and responds to 911 calls between the hours of 9:00am and 9:00pm. The personnel working on the unit are trained by Marine Rescue to perform water rescue and lifeguard functions. When not actively responding to 911 rescue calls the personnel function as lifeguards. This Collaboration between EMS and Marine Rescue has provided a unique service to the island community by expanding lifeguard coverage and rapid ALS response to those in need. This quick response resource has improved response times to residents and visitors in need as well as provided additional lifeguard coverage.
