Above is a YouTube video. The accompanying explanation is immediately below,
“U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Gabriel Wisdom explains the intricacies of the Coast Guard’s personal watercraft program, a law enforcement training program conducted on small watercraft commonly called jet skis, at Coast Guard Headquarters in Washington, D.C., on Aug. 4, 2026. The PWC program was created to counter human-smuggling threats on the Southwest Border near San Diego.”
One of our regular readers sent it to me. Unfortunately I lost track of who it was, but thank you.
I have also heard that Cape D is using them for safety support for some training in/near surf.
Some Coast Guard Auxiliary units also have Personal Watercraft and Kayak units, useful for use close to shore or in high density boating events with many spectator vessels.
