The Union County Sheriff's Office Dive Team was organized in July, 2009 when Sheriff  Stephens realized an increasing need for divers for rescue, property recovery, and victim location/recovery in Union County as well surrounding areas.  Since that time, Union County Sheriff’s Office has certified five divers, purchased dive equipment, and purchased a boat using Drug Seizure funds. The goal for this unit is to utilize yet another tool in order to become a more effective servant of the community.
