Edison International is partnering with the Ventura County Sheriff's Foundation in bringing Emergency, Electrical Training to the Sheriff's Department DART teams and VIP Units.

These volunteers are often on scene with emergency first responders and Edison will teach the basics of what to do with downed power lines and other electrical emergencies.

The Ventura County Sheriff's Foundation supports the Sheriff's Department with funds for special equipment and projects that are not covered in the County budget.

The Foundation also works to enhance public awareness of, and provide education concerning, safety issues, and community outreach.

Thursday, April 25th one of the Sheriff's Department contract cities, Thousand Oaks, will be presenting the electrical training to their DART Team in the Community Room at the East Valley Station, 7:30 pm.
