BPD officials explain why Officer Lehner didn’t have GPS device

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – In the wake of a five day long search to find a Buffalo Police diver who went missing during a routine training exercise in the waters of the Niagara River, many Western New Yorkers are asking what went wrong and what can be done to prevent such tragedies in the future.
One common question is why Officer Craig Lehner was not wearing some sort of GPS device while he dove.
That question was posed to Buffalo Police Lieutenant Jeff Rinaldo on the fifth day of the search.
