Williamson County
Underwater
Operations (established January 1988)
The Underwater Operations Unit of Williamson County
Emergency Management Agency is composed of local volunteer divers. The purpose
of the Underwater Operations Unit
is to help City, County, State, and Federal governmental agencies in the
underwater aspect of law enforcement, body recovery, and inspections of
underwater structures.
Often crimes can go undetected or unresolved if evidence of a crime is
deposited underwater. Because this agency provides underwater search and
recovery services, evidence may be recovered and used to connect suspects to
their crimes.
The dedicated divers in this unit are thoroughly trained
in underwater search and recovery, underwater crime scene investigation, and
have an overall knowledge of how to preserve the crime scene.
All members of the Underwater Operation
Unit are volunteers.
All members are subject to a preliminary criminal background check. Please apply
in person by joining us for one the the monthly meetings.

If you are interested in joining the Underwater
Operations Unit of WCEMA, please e-mail
either Bob Connell or Eric Johns for more details about our membership. We
welcome experienced and non-experienced personnel. We generally have one
informal office meeting each month to cover specifics on budgets, trainings,
ongoing or future projects. There is always something that needs to be completed
or started. The job of the Public Safety Diver is continuous. We
encourage our membership to participate as they wish, however, the majority of
our membership play very active roles within the organization. Many of our
members have specific skills offering a successful mix and sense of
community, service, and even honor in appreciation for the efforts of others on
the team.
