Underwater Forensics for Law Enforcement and Dive Team Personnel

When L.E. respond to a body/evidence land scene, they don’t just remove the body once they find it.  It’s not unusual to take at least 30-60 minutes to work a benign-circumstance unattended death scene and hours to process a possible homicide scene.  UW scenes should be worked with the same procedures and care as are land scenes. Learn from internationally-acclaimed forensic aquatic death investigator Andrea Zaferes how dive teams should be used on UW scenes, including pool and even bathtub cases.
