The San Diego Harbor Police Department has a distinction that most law enforcement agencies don't have: marine firefighters. All of their officers are cross-trained to meet firefighter standards and assist with rescue incidents.
Here's a good article from firehouse.com about the San Diego Harbor Police Department (HPD)
and their fleet of five MetalCraft Marine FireStorm 36 Emergency Response Vessels.
The department?s fleet includes five MetalCraft Marine FireStorm 36 Emergency Response Vessels. Each of these vessels contains a Darley fire pump, or pumps depending on the configuration, which supplies two monitors. One is a roof-mounted, 2,000 gpm remote control unit; two discharges and a five-inch Storz connection for supplying land-based units. They also have a built-in foam distribution system.
EMS care can be provided on the large open deck space or inside one of the heated interior berths of the vessel.
