RHPD Marine Unit at Work on Connecticut River

ROCKY HILL, CT — The Rocky Hill Police Marine Unit has partnered with the United States Coast Guard to patrol the local stretch of the Connecticut River.

Last Wednesday, a RHPD Officer was aboard a USCG vessel conducting evening safety checks.

Most of the vessels were compliant, police said.

Several boats, however, had minor violations like not having a fire extinguisher, a throwable flotation device, or a sound-making device like a whistle on board.

Authorities removed one impaired operator from the water, police said.
