Water Police: How to catch suspected criminals on the river? | City Police Episode 3

In the new episode of City Police, presenter Aleksandr Nosik meets members of the Russian river police. Seems like all his adventures will be on the water. Northern Port Chief Golonel Andrey explains how the water police unit works and maintains public safety. “As well as by boat, we patrol on foot”, laughs the chief.

The chief shows Aleksandr the Mongoose and Alliance patrol boats. They look small but don’t think they are not strong. The Mongoose is a 20-metre craft, but it has a 3,000 hp engine and a top speed of 120 kph! The Mongoose was designed to intercept vessels. The captain explains the difference between the Mongoose and Alliance patrol boats. Check out the film to find out more about the Alliance patrol boat. Aleksandr is ready to chase suspects with the captain on his boat. When he goes on board, he realises the power of the Mongoose. What awaits Aleksandr on his shift?

The history of river police in Russia started in the XIX century when the country had to streamline communications by water. Emperor Alexander I established the Directorate of Water and Land Communications in 1809. The Russian Empire was divided into ten districts, each controlled by a communication director, the prototype to the water police units. Over the years, Russian water police have progressed to where they are today.

The best part of the new episode of City Police is when they run an exercise pitching the Mongoose patrol boat against the Alliance. Both of them are picking up speed and… What happens next?
