'Water does not lie, nothing is impossible in water'! - 'Deep Crime Unit'

‘The Deep Crime Unit’, focuses on finding evidence hidden in various waters and helping the police investigate unsolved underwater cases, deduces suspenseful criminal investigations related to diving.

So what does a real underwater crime scene and investigation look like? Perhaps UCI (Underwater Criminal Investigators) founder Michael Barry can tell you the answer.

So what does a real underwater crime scene and investigation look like? Perhaps UCI (Underwater Criminal Investigators) founder Michael Barry can tell you the answer.

Mike is recognized internationally as a Master Underwater Criminal Investigator and one of the most experienced Public Safety Divers/Underwater Criminal Investigators in the world with over 40 years of active service.

In 1987, after seeing the need for qualified professional training in Public Safety Diving, Mike founded Underwater Criminal Investigators® (UCI). He uses his 40 plus years of experience as a Virginia State Police diver, 35+ years as the team's Operations Coordinator and instructor and over three thousand underwater criminal investigations as his training foundation.

Mike is the author of  'The Water's Edge' which is the most in-depth manual ever written on how to conduct underwater criminal investigations. He is also the author of 'The Public Safety Diver, Basic Essentials'  manual, the 'Advanced Public Safety Diver' manual and the 'Underwater Criminal Investigator' manual.

He has organized all of this information in the following chapters:

• Readiness

• Establishing Your Crime Scene

• Crime Scene Photography and Sketching

• Chemical Contaminants and Polluted Waters

  

• Starting the Dive Operation

• Communications

  

• Medical Aspects

• Search Patterns

• Locating and Recovering Evidence

  

• Metal and Non-Metal Evidence Preservation

• Packaging and Submitting Evidence

• Fingerprints

• Body Movement in Water

• Body Recovery and Handling

• Vehicle Recovery and Light Salvage

• Special Search Procedures: Underwater Metal Detectors, Search Dogs and Dragging

• Courtroom Testimony

According to the SDI TDI ERDI PFI Underwater Crime Scene Investigation —— Scene Procedure Instructions, the target remains unaccomplished after the evidence has been collected and documented. Divers and team members are still required to perform the following steps,

Through a series of procedures and operations, all underwater evidence is collected and investigated, and water becomes a witness that cannot lie. Underwater evidence collection has become the key to unraveling the mystery. Investigators carefully collect clues at the bottom of the water, and every underwater trace is a precious clue. These clues are silent, but they can tell the truth of the crime.

Shenzhen Zhilan Technology Co., Ltd (Ocean Plan) provides divers and law enforcement officers with a series of solutions for underwater crime investigation scenarios. The deployment of The Underwater Communication and Navigation Systems can enable surface personnel to maintain real-time communication positioning with underwater survey divers.

• The preset text information enables divers and surface personnel to conduct two-way communication of mission execution status and progress, and further convey mission instructions.

• A location data update covering diver depth, bearing and distance, guiding underwater target navigation between divers, and between divers and surface personnel.

• By deploying the 7-days/90-days version of the underwater locator beacon, the location of the underwater target is determined, which facilitates further return and evidence collection for follow-up work.

• The independent and quick one-button SOS button enables divers to quickly initiate an ask help signal in an emergency and obtain the attention and assistance of other personnel.

• The diving safety values range setting's before diving, such as depth, distance, ascent speed, and descent speed, offers divers more security.

Investigating underwater crimes is not easy. The harsh underwater environment, turbid vision, and erratic currents are challenges for diver investigators. For justice, truth, and fairness, the diver investigators are persisting and constantly improving their diving skills and equipment technical level.

Shenzhen Zhilan Technology Co., Ltd (Ocean Plan) has always been committed to ensuring divers' diving safety and diving collaboration efficiency. Through continuous improvement and optimization of product portfolio,  effectively improve the diving experience and meet the ever-growing diving needs.
