Two City of Denton Firemen are kneeling in front of a small boat with "Denton Fire Dept." printed on the side. On the left, two Denton Police Reserve officers are kneeling in front of another small boat with "Denton Police Reserve" printed on the side. The two police officers on the right are both holding oxygen tanks with breathing apparatuses. In the early days, the Reserve Officers were responsible for retrieving the bodies from Lake Lewisville. Their uniforms were the same as that of the police officers because the Department did not want the public to be able to distinguish between Regulars and Reserves, as they both were sworn officers and had the same legal authority. The Fire Department helped in drowning as well, and had two certified divers who, if it became necessary, would help dive for the bodies. "That did not happen much as the water in the lakes and ponds was not clear and there was a multitude of hooks, lines, and other items that are very hazardous to divers."
