Police Boat Insurance

Police Boat Insurance

July 12, 2021, 1:58 pm | Commercial Liability by

Keeping the waters safe is a tough job for any marine police officer. Many aspects of the job carry an element of risk, from approaching unknown vessels to dealing with intoxicated people and individuals carrying out illegal activities. This, coupled with the unpredictability of the water and weather, makes the job particularly high-risk.

If you’re part of the Marine Police, police boat insurance is critical as it protects you from liability claims. All police officers on land and water are at risk of being blamed for an accident that causes harm or injury. Any person should be able to continue their profession with peace of mind. You can’t do this if you have the threat of a lawsuit hanging over you.

The Water is a Dangerous Environment

Patrolling the waters isn’t just about ensuring that other boats are operating safely. Many illegal activities occur on the water, such as smuggling, trafficking, unauthorized immigration, and theft. In 2019, there were 4,240 thefts of watercraft across the US.

On top of that, boating accidents are frequent and can be very dangerous. In 2019, the Coastguard recorded 4,168 accidents involving 613 deaths and 2,559 injuries. Additionally, a whopping $55 million of property damage was also recorded. (Source: American boating)

As a Marine Officer, you have a duty of care towards those operating on the water. However, accidents can happen, especially if you’re required to use force. If you cause injury to another person or damage their property, you could be found liable. Police boat insurance is the best way to protect yourself against this potential eventuality.
