FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. — Search and rescue teams continued this morning to scour the waters near the Mason Neck area after a Fairfax County police officer disappeared during a diving exercise in Pohick Bay.
Police did not release the officer’s name but said he is a male. About 15 people were involved in the training exercise yesterday afternoon, including members of the police dive team and helicopter and marine patrol units as well as several Fairfax firefighters, said Fairfax Officer Don Gotthardt, a police spokesman.
The exercise began about 1:30 p.m., Gotthardt said, and the officer was reported missing about 2:45 p.m.
