So I know King County North Radio frequently responds with "Marine X" units - but they also ask for Seattle marine patrols as well as Mercer Island folks....

Are the Seattle & Mercer Island boats also PD units?

Yes Harbor patrol in seattle is a in service 24-7 police patrol boat Harbor 4 is mostly on fresh water and Harbor 5 is on Salt water the officers are also rescue divers/swimmers . Mercer Island police boat is out during the daylight summertime but on call for incidents.

Seattle Harbor Patrol are also somewhat Marine Firefighter trained. They have Firefighter Turnout gear and have limited Gallon Per Minute that they can apply on a burning vessel. For many years this has been an issue with both Seattle P.D. Union and S.F.D. Union.

Any ideas what frequency each one goes on? Is it just SPD East and MI Dispatch?

Seattle Harbor Patrol is on 4048. Not much going on. They'll also pop up on the N/E/S/W talkgroup nearest whatever they're working on if it's by land.

I've heard these guys also come up on 1776 with SFD for rescues.
