Letter from the President

Dear Neighbor.

Crescenta Valley Sheriff’s Support Group would appreciate your donation as part of this year’s annual fund raising drive. The Crescenta Valley Sheriff’s Support Group is a non-profit organization of volunteers from your community who support the Crescenta Valley Sheriff’s Department as well as various station programs including Montrose Search and Rescue, Explorer Scouts, Civilian Volunteers, Reserves, Neighborhood Watch, Arson Watch and CERT (Community Emergency Response Team). Our community encompasses the Crescenta Valley, LA Canada, La Crescenta and Montrose neighborhoods. Thanks to people like you, CVSSG helps maintain the important connection between our community and the Sheriff’s Department.

People often ask how they can both thank and help our Crescenta Valley sheriffs and volunteers. The best way to help is to ensure our station has up to date equipment. With your past generous donations we were able to purchase our Mobile Command Post. It is a specially designed vehicle equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and technology. This vehicle can be deployed to the site of an incident so that the Sheriffs can deliver rapid on the spot response. As I’m sure you can imagine, such rapid on-site response can be a major factor in helping ensure the best outcome when it’s most needed. Such response has become ever more critical in these days of active shooter calls, mass-casualty incidents and large-scale natural disasters. It has been used numerous times just this past winter alone with all of the rescue calls of lost hikers in snow. The availability of equipment like this which helps with overall safety and rescue is priceless.

Donating to these important projects is a great opportunity to support our wonderful deputies and volunteers.

Thank you for your support and donation. We look forward to seeing you at our events.

Sincerely,

Lisa Dutton
President
Crescenta Valley Sheriff’s Support Group
