Bruce Adams

NZ Police National Dive Squad

In 2019 Senior Sergeant Bruce Adams, the head of the Police National Dive Squad, became a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM) for services to New Zealand Police and the community. Senior Sergeant Adams has been on the Dive Squad for 28 years and has headed the team since 2002. His expertise in dive search and recovery operations is valued within police and external agencies, as is his input to reviewing and refining work safe practices in the dive industry sector.

Senior Sergeant Adams also was awarded the old Medal of Bravery from the NZ Police after the Whakaari White Island eruption in 2019.

This will be a very interesting talk and well worth coming to listen. His topic is "The Dive Squad."
