Deputy Baumann worked with the Sheriff's Office's Regional Aviation Enforcement (RAVEN) unit, starting as a HASTY volunteer 25 years ago and spending the last 15 years as a RAVEN pilot.

The WCSO thanked Deputy Baumann for his service on their X page, saying they wish him and his family all the best.

“Deputy Baumann has been the heart of our RAVEN program and I am very proud of his efforts,” Sheriff Darin Balaam added. “Thank you isn’t enough for all you’ve done. Best wishes on your next chapter.”

In addition to his work with the WCSO, Deputy Baumann also served in the Nevada Army National Guard according to the Sheriff's Office thread on X.
