PSLPD introduces new Dive Team
Chief Leo Niemczyk is proud to announce the formation of a new Dive Team for the Port St. Lucie Police Department.
PSLPD recognized the need for our own Dive Team that has the capabilities of search and recovery, evidence recovery, vehicle recovery, sunken vessel recovery and any other mission deemed necessary and possible by the Dive Team supervisors.
All four members of the new Dive Team are comprised of experienced divers who have various law enforcement backgrounds with our agency. These divers undergo rigorous training and have achieved the required basic SCUBA certifications as well as emergency response diving, full face mask and dry suit certification, rescue diver training and more.
The Dive Team Response Vehicle, which is a retrofitted ambulance that was donated to us by the St. Lucie County Fire District, can accommodate all of the team’ s equipment.
