Subject: Queensland Police Museum Sunday Lecture Series - The QPS Diving Unit
Under Water Investigations: The QPS Diving Unit
An appreciation of the value of a police diving squad was first realized in
1964 when the Danish dredge, the Captain Nielsen, capsized in Moreton Bay and
police divers saved twelve lives. In the early days members of the Queensland
Water Police, who dived in their spare time, donned a tank and a mask and lent
their expertise for official police work.
Senior Constable Matthew Guitman of the Diving Unit will present "Under Water
Investigations: The QPS Diving Unit", to discuss the history of the Diving Unit
and outline the common and not so common tasks undertaken by police divers of
today.
Senior Constable Guitman will outline how the Diving Unit usually undertakes
searches and other work in limited or zero visibility conditions and whilst
avoiding potentially dangerous hazards. He will illustrate the lecture with
examples of the latest under water search equipment.
The one-and-a-half hour presentation will begin at 11am on Sunday, April 26 and
will provide educational and up-to-date content suitable for any audience.
The Museum opens its doors to the public on the last Sunday of each month from
10am to 3pm between February and November in addition to the standard Monday to
Thursday 9am to 4pm opening hours. Monthly Sunday openings feature guest
speakers from across the historical and crime-solving spectrums.
PLEASE NOTE: The Police Museum will open Sunday, April 26 from 10am to 3pm, and
is located on the ground floor of Police Headquarters, 200 Roma Street,
Brisbane. The Police Headquarters conference room will open its doors at
10:45am, and can accommodate 100 people. Seats cannot be reserved, so please
come early to enjoy the Museum in readiness for the lecture.
Kind regards,
Georgia Grier Museum Assistant
