We had a presentation on the Marine Patrol and Executive Security which are both in the Operations Bureau (under the Special Operations Division).
The Marine Patrol Section works with the Fired Department and United States Coast Guard. They are responsible for providing safe boating for the residents of Guam. They provide an eight hour course that reviews the safety precautions and procedures in the water. He also explained the common causes for boating accidents and showed pictures of boating accidents. He explained that it is the law that anyone who is under the age of 16 must wear a floating device or safety vest while on a vessel/boat. He could not stress the importance of safety in the waters. He also said that it doesn't matter how good of a swimmer one maybe, if the waters are rough, you will drown.
The Executive Security Section is responsible of the Head of state(visiting Guam), VIP (indicated by the Governor), and the Governor and Lt. Governor and their families. They must know how to prevent and react to attacks or threats. They must always anticipate what will happen next and think ten seconds ahead.
