A senate RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT 
OF NATURAL RESOURCES LAW ENFORCEMENT DIVE TEAM FOR ITS DEDICATED SERVICE, 
PROFESSIONALISM, AND EXTRAORDINARY CONTRIBUTIONS TO the SAFETY of THE CITIZENS 
OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina Senate is proud to recognize the South Carolina Department of Natural 
Resources Law Enforcement Dive Team, which is a highly trained and specialized 
unit composed of sworn law enforcement officers who voluntarily undertake 
rigorous training to conduct underwater search, rescue, recovery, and 
investigative operations; and

Whereas, members of the 
dive team routinely operate in hazardous and unpredictable environments 
including rivers, lakes, coastal waters, and flood zones, often under 
conditions of limited visibility, strong currents, and extreme weather, placing 
themselves at great personal risk in service to others; and

Whereas, the dive team 
provides critical support to local, state, and federal law enforcement 
agencies, emergency responders, and communities throughout South Carolina, 
assisting in life-saving rescues, recovery operations, and the preservation of 
vital evidence in criminal investigations; and

Whereas, beyond their 
extensive and demanding duties, these highly trained professionals have 
selflessly volunteered their time and expertise to deliver swim lessons in 
communities across South Carolina, helping to prevent drowning and improve 
water safety; and

Whereas, through 
professionalism, discipline, and unwavering commitment, the South Carolina 
Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Dive Team exemplifies the 
highest traditions of public service and reflects great credit upon the South 
Carolina Department of Natural Resources and the State of South Carolina; and

Whereas, the members of 
the dive team balance these demanding responsibilities with their regular law 
enforcement duties, demonstrating exceptional dedication, teamwork, and a 
strong sense of duty to the citizens they serve. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the 
South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, 
recognize and honor the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources Law 
Enforcement Dive Team for its dedicated service, professionalism, and 
extraordinary contributions to the safety of the citizens of South Carolina.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to the South Carolina Department of 
Natural Resources Law Enforcement Dive Team.
