About the Club

The NCPD Dive Club is a recreational club for members of the Nassau County Police Department. It was founded in 2026 by Det. Lieutenant Robert Kohlmier, for members at every level — including members who have never been under water.

The club is a recreational organization. It is not a department unit, it has no operational role, and it does not train or deploy divers for department missions. Members dive on their own certifications, their own time, and their own gear.
