Adding an ROV to your investigative toolbox is a big step to providing your officers/investigators the ability to “see” underwater. While boating accidents and missing person’s cases on the water are all too common, the utilization of a remotely operated vehicle can decrease your investigative time on scene due to quick recoveries, improve decision making for dive teams, and allow top notch underwater crime scene documentation prior to any human interaction. Side Scan Sonar and Sector Scan Sonar in conjunction with an ROV will greatly increase your likelihood of finding targets underwater, both big and small. This law-enforcement oriented program is designed to inform you of the many benefits and some challenges faced when deploying an ROV for investigative purposes with a “hands on” field demo. Supports RBS Initiative #3 - Improve upon and expand recreational boating data collection and research. *Note: Presented edited for size.
