Report
Summary
The Phoenix Police Foundation has donated a shallow water search and rescue boat to assist with water rescue responses. The boat is an 1860 Shallow Water Series V from F4 Boats, equipped to be operated by two divers and support crew. The boat can be off-loaded by hand and reloaded to accommodate difficult locations where a standard boat cannot be launched.
The acceptance of the equipment will allow the dive team to safety and quickly respond to a search as well as recovery, if necessary. If acceptance is approved, the title for both the boat and trailer will be transferred to the City of Phoenix.
The Phoenix Police Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. The Foundation is committed to addressing unmet capital needs of the Phoenix Police Department, providing financial assistance in crisis situations, and recognizing those who protect our community.
