The Harbor Police's current fleet consists of 5 identical vessels commissioned in 2010 and 2011.

The San Diego Harbor Police is an agency that provides both law enforcement and fire fighting services on the shores of San Diego Bay, in Southern California.[1][2] Multiple municipalities, including San Diego, National City, Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, and Coronada, access the bay. All these municipalities have separate shore-based fire and police departments.

All officers in the Harbor Police are also fully trained Marine firefighters.[3]

The agency's fleet currently consists of five identical fireboats, propelled by waterjets.[1][2][3][4] Purchase of the fireboats was assisted by FEMA port security grants. These vessels were commissioned in 2010 and 2011.

The San Diego Lifeguard Service also operates a fleet of fireboats.[5][6][6]
