WE’RE A FULL SERVICE OCEAN RESCUE DEPARTMENT
Established in 2018, we offer contracted Ocean Lifeguard Services to coastal municipalities on all consoles.
Baywatch Lifeguards are a 24-hour rescue agency whose service area covers contracted coastal municipalities. Lifeguard responsibilities include water rescue, boat rescue, marine fire suppression up to three miles offshore, coastal cliff rescue, underwater search and recovery, swift water and flood search and rescue, and emergency medical response on and around beach, bay and ocean areas. Baywatch Lifeguards also handle enforcement of city, state and federal laws and regulations, through prevention, citation and arrest. All full-time lifeguards are classified as peace officers and seasonal lifeguards are classified as public officers, both with the power of arrest. Most enforcement activity however, is related to local ordinances concerning beach and water use.
