DONATIONS FROM THE GRAND HAVEN EAGLES WILL HELP WITH RESCUE AND RECOVERY

John Knott from the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department, stopped by to thank us for the donation of the AquaEye®.

AquaEye® is an advanced underwater scanner, using the latest in ultrasound and artificial intelligence technologies to identify human bodies underwater. AquaEye® sends a sonar pulse out to 165 feet and listens for the return echo. AquaEye® then decides which echoes match the echoes from a human body and indicates the location of the missing persons on the screen.

The unit the Eagles purchased for OCSD has already been successfully used in efforts in the Detroit area, as well as locally in Lake Macatawa.
