Serving the deserts, mountains, and remote terrain of the Antelope Valley, Antelope Valley Search and Rescue exemplifies the spirit of service and strength through unwavering commitment to saving lives in challenging and often dangerous conditions.

Composed of highly trained volunteers working in coordination with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Antelope Valley Search and Rescue responds to missing person cases, wilderness emergencies, vehicle accidents, and disaster-related incidents across one of Southern California’s most demanding landscapes.

Their work requires endurance, discipline, and teamwork — often conducted in extreme heat, rugged terrain, and limited visibility — driven by a singular mission: to bring people home safely. These volunteers give their time, skills, and energy without expectation of recognition, motivated by service to others and dedication to community safety.
