Officer Drowned: Water Safety Tips and Training for Law Enforcement

This publication discusses the importance of water safety training in law enforcement. The author states that although a number of departments have highly skilled marine units, not many train their patrol officers. Nevertheless, it is not unusual for an officer to rescue a person from the water, get caught in a swamped patrol car, or fall when boarding or pulling something out of a boat. Further, the author cites ways for law enforcement leaders to incorporate water safety training into their departments’ training programs.
