Police Marine Units
Looking for a little bit of direction here. I've been recently assigned to
my department's Marine Unit. I've been a cop for 15 years. I lived in NJ at the shore around boats most of my life, but never owned one. I rarely even went out on boats except for fishing or waterskiing. I moved to Florida in late 2000, and I'm still working as a cop (just in a nicer place). As a result of some administrative changes in my department, I was assigned to the Marine Unit. I've completed the necessary training and such, but one thing is lacking: experience. I'll try to get to the point - I'm open for comments and opinions. I know what the law says, and I know what my job is, but I try to use more common sense than what the law may actually say in black & white. What do you (as boaters) feel the most important issues are for the Police to deal with on the water? Would you like to see more O.U.I. enforcement? More vessel stops for no wake zone infractions? More safety inspections? More after dark patrols of inlets, channels, and harbor areas? You tell me. I'm asking for your honest opinions here. As a rule I use more common sense than anything on the job. I treat people fairly, and as a result I rarely ever have to appear in court. I would like to do the same on the water. Here's your chance to make a difference, because I will take every opinion into consideration. Thanks for your help. |
