The Marine Unit patrols the waterfront for boating violations (example: no wake zone), performs safety inspections (life jackets, fire extinguishers, flares, etc.), renders aid to disabled boats, and assists with boating accidents. Team members respond to above water and underwater situations such as search and recovery operations, water-related crimes and investigations, and emergency rescue. The Marine Unit is also actively involved with the DEP and the U.S. Coast Guard.
