OUR MISSION
THE SPCTR MISSION IS TO EDUCATE, TRAIN AND PROVIDE EMERGENCY SERVICES IN AND AROUND THE WATER IN GREATER PACIFIC COUNTY, WA.
WHAT WE DO
Operating since 1978, SPCTR provides specialized rescue skills to assist during Coastal emergencies in Pacific County, WA. We provide beach safety education and rescue services to the Long Beach peninsula and beyond, working in tandem with law enforcement and emergency agencies. Our team deploys 24/7 to assist in rescues and recoveries related to cliff, beach and surf rescue in and around the water. SPCTR is currently the main agency providing Coastal rescue service in the area and is dispatched to assist by the 911 emergency call system.
WHO WE ARE
SPCTR is entirely made up of volunteers dedicating their time, skills and hearts to safety and rescue. The team trains in severe ocean conditions, in any weather and deploys 24/7 when called upon. We are mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sons, daughters, grandparents and first responders. But mostly, we are humans.
The honor and responsibility of being part of SPCTR is not something we take lightly. We drop everything when called upon and risk our lives to save yours.
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
