Introducing our Underwater Search Unit

Finding discarded weapons, mobile phones and recovering bodies - it’s all in a day’s work for our Underwater Search Unit.
Lincolnshire Police is one of only nine forces in the country with a dedicated Underwater Search Unit (UWSU). Based in Grantham, the unit is a team of nine officers drawn from various departments to cover Lincolnshire’s underwater policing needs.

Just out of interest. Do you have to be a policeman first for so many years before joining the dive unit ?

[@crazydoctor4914]

I believe you do but I could be wrong

[@lincolnshirepolice]

Sorry for the delay in replying! Yes, you will have to have passed your two-year probationary period as a police constable before applying for specialist roles like the Underwater Search Unit.

Is it possible to do it undercover ?

The English make a one minute video of scuba absolutely boring. I will go to the ministry of silly walks.
