Conducting law enforcement operations in jurisdictions with bodies of water—from rivers to lakes to coastal areas—poses unique challenges.
Maritime operations for patrolling, search and rescue, smuggling, and narcotic interdiction require the right equipment to successfully complete the task at hand.
Having the proper watercraft to navigate the waterways in your area is essential. Choosing the right boat for your purpose can assist in deploying your officers in a timely manner, make your operations smoother, and in some instances, save lives.
The purchase of a law enforcement-specific boat is not dissimilar to choosing the right patrol vehicle for your fleet. However, there are many more factors to consider. The purchase of a boat is a significant decision that must be carefully thought out and meticulously planned from the conception stage right up until the purchase and deployment stage.
