Encyclopedia of Underwater Investigations, 2nd Edition
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Encyclopedia of Underwater Investigation is to remove the mystique from underwater investigative procedures and to supply a clear, descriptive, step-by-step instruction manual for the professional public safety dive team.
The public safety diver (PSD) is often called upon as an investigative arm of the police, fire department, medical examiner, or coroner extended to an underwater environment. How you fill this need as a professional investigator will depend on your desire to become part of a growing profession and on how well you prepare yourself by extending your PSD skills to include investigative knowledge.
Underwater investigation of accidents, fatalities, and crime scenes has advanced rapidly in the past decade. Unfortunately, active dive teams have gained much knowledge and education only through trial and error on the job. This method of learning has often evolved into a "trial by fire," where mistakes have been made, and both the investigating agency and the dive team's professional reputation have been compromised in the eyes of the courts and the public, in some cases endangering the lives of team members as well.
While at first glance this manual may seem to be directed toward public safety dive teams, its value to any police, fire department, attorney, or medical examiner's or coroner's office will be apparent. Never before has all this information been assembled into one manual.
ABOUT THE MANUAL
The First Edition of the Encyclopedia of Underwater Investigations, published in 1994, was a groundbreaking addition to diving literature. To this day, it remains one of the preeminent publications in the area of underwater forensics and investigations. The manual demystifies and clarifies underwater investigative procedures, providing a clear, descriptive, step-by-step instruction manual for the public safety dive team and underwater investigators. The Second Edition, 2013, included tools and technologies used by underwater investigators. Many individuals working in the fields of investigation and public safety diving have supplied their expertise to update Robert Teather’s original text, thus creating an enduring resource for public safety divers and underwater investigators for years to come.
