Patrolling the Water - Like Patrolling the Streets

In most port cities, the police patrol the waterways in addition to the mean streets of town; Vancouver is one of those cities. Interestingly, policing the water has many parallels to policing the roads. There are speed limits to enforce, and reckless and impaired drivers to nab. I spent time with the Vancouver Police Marine Unit and had an opportunity to see the work firsthand.
