The San Diego Harbor Police is an agency that provides both law enforcement and fire fighting services on the shores of San Diego Bay, in Southern California.[1][2] Multiple municipalities, including San Diego, National City, Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, and Coronada, access the bay. All these municipalities have separate shore-based fire and police departments.
All officers in the Harbor Police are also fully trained Marine firefighters.
The agency's fleet currently consists of five identical fireboats, propelled by waterjets.[1][2][3] Purchase of the fireboats was assisted by FEMA port security grants. These vessels were commissioned in 2010 and 2011.
The San Diego Lifeguard Service also operates a fleet of fireboats.[4][5][5]
