Subject: Patrol Boat Authorization
Chief Hardiman:
I’ve just received a request to authorize the MW26 patrol boat to Madison Wynter from the Special Crimes Unit. I want to go on record as voicing my objection to this request. I see that you have already signed off approving its use, so my hands are tied, but I will not be held responsible if Officer Wynter destroys another patrol boat.
We’re down to two boats left and, with the latest budget cuts, we can’t afford any new ones. It’s bad enough we’re using outdated models as it is.

The big problem is what the salt water does to their gear, although I suppose they might be able to anchor and let the waves swing their boat stern first toward shore.
If they have a stern mounted diving platform they could then just hold their gear overhead and walk to shore after sliding off the platform.
