I've been a Detective for over 25 years. The reason why your team where treated that way, is because you found the car and they didn't. It's actually very embarrassing to be shown up by someone not in authority. The correct way it should have be handled would have been. The senior officer or agent thanking you for the discovery and informing you that it is a crime scene, taken your information and that you will have to leave. Then talk to their dive team what you encountered, any hidden dangers in the river. They should have thanked you for the locate and allowing the family to grieve privately. Since my fellow brothers in blue can't say it, I will.... Great job Adventures with a Purpose.

@@kathrynblair8845 No they don’t, once Law Enforcement deems it a crime scene. You can not enter the restricted area, and maybe arrested for Interfering in a Investigation.

I applaud you for commenting this. This just highlights that not all law enforcement are the same. Unfortunately, this sheriff needs to take a course in professionalism.

Especially after they tried to de-escalate the situation.

A typical government. LAZY is my nice word for them. His mother always said thats where she knew he was! Jarrads team found the vehicle in a very very short time. They dove on it and WHAM! The time it took for anyone to even turn up was atrocious. The arrogance of the 1st officer was so far way beyond what he should have been doing or saying. He upset me so much as well. The timeframe in which they were involved in this case was so long. SLACK GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS who like to sit on their fat As and do anything that is easy. Nothing else. They think theyre beyond anything else. It happens in virtually every country sadly. He should have been severely repremanded and stood down to be re trained and how to deal with this type of situation. If that has been part of training in the first place, MAYBE (some people you cant teach - you cant even fix it with Duct tape and Id say hes one if them). Sad to say this but I hope HE has this situation in his family. That MIGHT be the only way he will PULL HIS HEAD IN and learn to treat everyone the respect they deserve, especially in regards to deaths and missing persons. I dont know what chip he had on his shoulder bit he was so very arrogant! Thanks Jarrad and all your Team. You do something that rarely happens. I also watch a few other sites and found youve all joined at some stage with what theyre doing. What a lot of very special individuals, all teaming together yo help mankind.

All I can say is that I hate it when, people like that heartless bastard of an officer, are in professions, like law enforcement, first responders, medicine, healthcare, anything that serves the community to protect the safety & lives of the community, do those jobs for money & prestige. Plus they don’t care about not doing their jobs right & also, don’t care about anybody but the money & prestigious title. Shame on that officer, who was cruel & ungrateful to our guys in Adventures with Purpose for helping solve the case, but it really pissed me off that the officer was so unprofessional, hurtful, uncaring & disrespectful to Judy & her family. Well that’s ok! On the local news of that town, it’s Adventures with Purpose, who got the credit for finding Nick & Judy’s car. Plus, Judy thanked the guys for their help.

[@raymondschlagenhauff5129]

The officer was extremely unprofessional but I am gonna say that the police have certain rules they must abide by and would also need the resources which they probably didn’t have and on top of that are most likely dealing with hundreds of other cases as well but that’s what the dive team is for is to recover things such a car in a river.

@ only a silly goose would make assumptions about what a stranger thinks on KZbin and think they know them personally enough to call them a _narrow minded moron_ But hey, if you actually read what I wrote... As I said, police *hardly ever* want to search waterways because of the complications and training involved- also money and time. Facts. You can try to dispute it.. but it's well known within the law enforcement community that searching waterways is the last resort in a missing persons case. Which is why it is normally not until a fisherman stumbles across a body that they actually have the dive team suit up and recover them. As I also said this could be seen as pure laziness by some people, on this departments side, considering they were told and given good reason to check there. And considering it's someone's life involved. Just like the lives of the other cases you're saying they are "stacked" with. So no excuses then. It's the same thing. No life is more important than another in their work. Which is why I said in the end, we need more people like this willing to volunteer their time and knowledge to help families out who would have to wait much longer for the sheriffs department to get to it otherwise. Now go have some coffee or tea and relax, no one's coming after you.

[@zesolodar]

yep, spot on. unfortunately there are alot of sheriff departments that are completely useless when it comes this type of work. i use to work for a tv station and one of the things i had to go out and film was a car that drove into a river. i caught the lead investigator sitting in his car watching a movie on his computer in his car. i called him out on it saying is this really what you should be doing right now and instead of getting out of his car and doing his job he just rolled up his window and continued what he was doing

As someone who works on the Security field, interracts with local law enforcement on an occasion and has respect for the job they do, this really hits below the belt. As an Officer of the law, You're serving the public. Its your legal and moral obligation to aid your community if the need arises, and theres no shame in asking other Departments or independent professionals for help, if your Departments own know-how and / or resources cant cover it. You dont just mosey on over somewhere else when theres real work to be done, pretending like you're occupied with better things to do. And while i get that the job might be stressful in terms of field conditions and the deskjob bureaucracy, its still a job that needs to be done. You can make your situation better by at least trying to keep your attitude in line.

You have no idea how difficult it is to local anything, even the size of a suv, in waters that are that full of silt and sediment. Without that sonar it is likely they would still be looking. Sadly most law enforcement agencies do not have that kind of equipment.

[@TheUserid82]

The sad fact is that in cases like this it is not a single group you are dealing with and often they don't get along and as it is a missing person and not an active emergency they don't have to play nice. The cops don't normally have divers on the local scale so they have to bring in the state police or feds, The local fire department might have some trained in fast water and deep water rescue but not always so they have to find a department that can send them in. That is before you get into the whole who is paying for the cost of bringing in the specialists to look for them in the water. A civilian group gets to cut all the red tape on who is responsible for X in an area and simply go in and look. Once you know it is the right target they will then move fast as it is good PR to them as they have none of the searching to do and in this case even had a rope to follow down to it for the divers with the recovery bags.

I am a criminologist and a former police officer and in my years of service I have never seen a superior officer act the way this Sheriff has acted...beyond an apology, there are mechanisms in place to stop him from serving the community. I just think (because of the white of his hair and that to get to that position) you must have experience and years of service with an impeccable resume within the police...remember that Sheriffs are elected by their community...he does not deserve to be there...he detracts from the work that others do with ethics and mysticism.
