A dedicated team of volunteers ready to respond when lives are at stake — from urban emergencies to wilderness rescues.
BHSAR is an all-volunteer organization delivering emergency response to those in need across the city's urban and wilderness areas. We work closely with local law enforcement, including the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, to coordinate effective rescue operations.
In an emergency, always dial 911.
Our mission is to search for — and to rescue or recover — those who become lost, missing, or injured while outdoors or during natural disasters.
Systematic wilderness and urban search using trained personnel and K-9 units to locate missing individuals across all terrain types.
Swift extraction of injured or stranded individuals from remote and hazardous environments, coordinating with emergency services.
Rapid deployment during natural disasters to assist affected residents throughout Beverly Hills and surrounding communities.
Partnering with local agencies to strengthen emergency preparedness and provide life-saving resources across our service area.
Search for a missing woman in Franklin Canyon Park. Our K-9 team was in the area and helped the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department locate the woman before dusk.
We're always looking for dedicated, physically fit individuals committed to serving their community in high-stakes situations.
