(AP) - The state of Ohio now has a forensic dive team that can recover criminal evidence from the depths.
Attorney General Mike DeWine announced Monday that the newly formed Bureau of Criminal Investigation Forensic Dive Team will be available at any hour to help police agencies recover human remains, weapons, clothing and other criminal evidence from the water.
Members of the team have been training since January for what is often a dangerous job in dark water with zero visibility. When asked for assistance by any Ohio law enforcement agency, team members will search the water, identify and document evidence, and properly recover it.
DeWine made the announcement Monday from a team training exercise at the Circleville Twin Quarries south of Columbus.
