Staff

The marine patrol is staffed by 50 marine deputies under the command of the division lieutenant, a sergeant and five corporals serving as platoon leaders. An administrative assistant is assigned secretarial and clerical duties.

The dive rescue/recovery unit is a branch of the marine patrol. This unit is staffed by 20 dive/rescue specialists who are on 24 hour call - available for immediate response to any situation requiring the need for underwater/sub-surface rescue, ice rescue and/or recovery of persons and/or property.

Most of the division personnel are seasonal employees and have other positions within the community - many in the public service sector and serving in other areas of law enforcement, as firefighters and as emergency medical personnel. A select staff is maintained during the winter season and perform duties related to boating education for adults and youths, patrol boat maintenance, administrative duties and ice/cold water rescue.
