Boat Patrol Essentials – SAR (Safety Area Responsibilities) 101 As an officer considering or engaged in waterborne patrol, you recognize the fact that training is essential. Your patrol boat doesn’t maneuver or stop like your squad car. You have to tie the boat off to keep it in place. Every approach you make to engage with the boating public is a dynamic exercise, courtesy of environmental factors, the general public’s lack of skill underway, and the limits of your capabilities. This two-day course will focus on your safety. Working to enhance your safety and operational capabilities will help you to ensure the safety of the boating public. You are the professional underway. The public looks to you for guidance every day, and for help in emergencies. This curriculum is based on the best practices of the United States Coast Guard, whose members have been engaged in waterborne patrol since 1790. Topics addressed will include uniform and gear considerations, team coordination, Marlinspike and line handling, basic electronic navigation, and area environmental concerns. Boat Patrol Essentials - SAR (Safety Area Responsibilities) 201 As an officer considering or engaged in waterborne patrol, have you ever considered how environmental differences between the street and the water could kill you? If you were to slip and fall street side, you’d most likely just get back up. Waterside, you’d most likely sink. Street side, you can render aid to an unresponsive victim where you find them. Waterside, you’ll need to somehow recover them to the boat. In the event you are knocked overboard in a fight, what use of force options are available to you? Baton? OC? Firearm? None work if you attempt to deploy them as you’ve been trained. Who is your back up on the water? Do you have any? Welcome to S.A.R. 201. This course will focus on your responsibilities as a waterborne law enforcement officer. Everything that happens street side happens on the water. When you step onboard your patrol boat, your tactics have to change, but your responsibilities as a law enforcement officer do not. This curriculum is based on the best practices of the United States Coast Guard, whose members have been engaged in waterborne patrol since 1790. Topics addressed will include patrol tactics, damage control, basic towing, initial action search patterns and rescue options.
