LOUISVILLE, Ky. When searches reach the Ohio River, the Louisville Metro Police Department s dive team is regularly called on to look in the muddied water. It could be somebody robbing a bank and throwing the gun in the river.we ve recovered stolen cars before, said officer Chad Crick, dive team instructor.
The unit has monthly trainings to keep up with techniques. They’re especially important because of the lack of visibility divers have under water. Even just a few feet below the surface of the Ohio River becomes total darkness.
