Lee's Summit Underwater Recovery Charity Profile

The Lee’s Summit Underwater Rescue & Recovery Team (LSURR) began working with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department in 1966 after a tragic drowning at a local lake. Several area divers created the team and began training together to conduct organized body searches in local lakes and ponds. Since that time, LSURR expanded its capability in searches, services and techniques. In 1988, LSURR obtained a lease of county land across the street from the Jackson County Sheriff Department, where we built our own building for housing the most advanced Dive Rescue & Recovery Team in our area.

LSURR is a professionally trained, all volunteer, 501C(3) Not-for-Profit Corporation. No member receives payment for his or her work, not even the administrators or the Board of Directors. LSURR is comprised of 15 public safety rescue divers, and 6 non-divers acting in a support function. All divers obtain professional Public Safety Diving (PSD) certification. We have two certified diving instructors and three more working towards diving instructor certification. New divers and support are trained up to standards quickly through intensive training during a probationary period. The Team maintains an Equal Opportunity Employment policy of non-discrimination when hiring volunteers.
