The Green Bay Police Department Dive Team is comprised of 9 divers 
and 6 line tenders.  Each diver has certifications in areas such as; 
Emergency Response Diving, Ice Diving, Evidence Collection, 
Lift/Salvage, and Underwater Explosive Search Diving.

2013 was an exciting year for the team, featuring the addition of our
 new team truck.  The truck allows our team to store all of its 
equipment in one place and have electrical power and air tank refill 
capabilities on site.  The money used to purchase the truck was 
allocated to us via a Port Security Grant sponsored by the Department of
 Homeland Security.

Our training this year was both challenging and rewarding for our 
divers.  We focused heavily on underwater searches throughout the Fox 
River and under several of its ships and bridges. As always, the Fox 
River’s current and lack of visibility proved to be the greatest 
challenge, one which pushes our diver’s skills and abilities.

We look forward to building upon these experiences in 2014 and will 
continue to focus on the maritime security within the Port of Green Bay.
