Dive cops, underwater

1985




 

In this clip we see the inner workings of police divers and how the real life detective work is different from what’s seen on the big screen. A brief clip from the ‘Sea Hunt’ television show is seen, we talk to officials in New York City about ongoing work there, and then to an underwater detective course in Orlando Florida. This amphibious aspect of detective work allows investigators to uncover much evidence that would otherwise be lost.

Police diving is still very much in use today in 2024. Divers can be full time for the department or called in when their services are needed, with specialists for both rescue and forensic work.
