Last weekend, the East Bay Regional Park District was requested by the California Office of Emergency Service (CAL OES) to assist with a search for Jason Coughran in the Desolation Wilderness National Forest, El Dorado County. EBRPD was requested to assist with drone operations by utilizing a special fixed-wing drone and software that allows for larger areas to be searched and analyzed quickly.

An EBRPD officer arrived in South Lake Tahoe and was briefed on the search alongside close to 200 additional SAR (Search and Rescue) members from agencies across the state. Due to the rural location of the search area, our officer and drone equipment were dropped off at the UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) launch point by California Highway Patrol helicopter H20 and a US Army National Guard Chinook helicopter.

After 2 full days of drone flights and data collection, the analyzed photos and flight paths were provided to the El Dorado County Sheriff Search and Rescue Team. We are honored to be a part of this search and hope Jason is located.

For additional information, please contact the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office at 530-621-6600 or 530-573-3051.

Last week, EBRPD Air Support Unit (Eagle), Officers, and Firefighters, along our Fire and Police partners, responded to the area of Black Diamond Mines Regional Personal for the report of a fire. Thanks to multiple water drops made by Eagle and our regional partners, the fire was contained at approximately 35 acres, preventing it from spreading in the dry and windy conditions.

The cause of the fire is still being investigated.

Protect. Serve. Preserve.

Today, the East Bay Regional Park District Police Department proudly participated in the Law Enforcement Torch Run in support of Special Olympics Northern California. Our officers had the honor of receiving the Flame of Hope from our partners at the Livermore Police Department as it continued its journey toward the Summer Games.

The Torch Run represents more than a relay — it’s a symbol of inclusion, unity, and unwavering support for Special Olympics athletes throughout our communities. We are grateful to stand alongside our fellow law enforcement partners in raising awareness and support for these incredible athletes.

Thank you to the Pleasanton Police Department for the handoff and continued partnership in this meaningful tradition. And, thanks to our partners at the Livermore Police Department, who received the torch from us!
