Law Enforcement Docks. It’s a scene right out of a movie: A fugitive just jumped off the bridge Paul Walker-style and landed on a boat where his accomplice was waiting in a speed boat. The chase abruptly ended because there was no match for the policemen pursuing on foot and in their squad cars.
Usually, there’s a daredevil maverick involved in the high-speed chase. Still, since this is a real-life scene, no helicopters in the sky or the backup from a secret task force appear. In the end, the fugitive escapes once again, and his picture is put on the “Most Wanted” board.
You are probably wondering why we are telling you this story. Well, it’s the buildup to proving why port officials need law enforcement docks.
Imagine this same scenario with the port authority nearby and floating docks with watercraft parked in the slips. The police on dry land can immediately radio the officials on the water so that the chase can continue. This is just one benefit. Let’s take a look at a few others:
Convenience
Like any other dock, a law enforcement floating dock provides port officials easy access to the water. It gives them a fighting chance to win the chase and catch the fugitive.
Less Chaos
Let’s continue with the scenario but without a floating dock. The police now have to circle via the road and reach on time on the other side to catch the fugitive. If this is not possible, the police have to make sure that the officials on the other side know about the chase and can catch the fugitive as soon as his boat arrives on the shore.
There’s too much chaos in both cases because the police would have to close the roads and hope they get a clear path. This problem wouldn’t occur with a floating dock because the police officials would have access to their watercraft.
Having access to watercraft is beneficial because the police have to account for any damage to the city, even for a good cause.
Easy Surveillance
Companies trying to get rid of their old stock are no strangers to oil spills in the water. This pollution has dangerous consequences, especially when the spill happens to flow into fresh drinking water. With the help of floating docks, port officials can immediately launch an investigation and make sure that they catch the culprits red-handed after a tip.
Floating docks in the right places can benefit port officials in several ways. It can provide timely service to multiple coast guards, open up job vacancies, and create training opportunities. Such projects have the power to boost the economy too.
