[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3793112, member: 45773"] Nope. Just knowing the basics of the situation, I don't think it's appropriate for an officer, untrained in water rescue, to try and attempt a rescue. Call for help immediately? Yes. Look for any other means to assist from the dock/shore? Yes. A rope, hose, anything that might reach. Get in the water, swim to the guy who's struggling, while not trained to do so? Absolutely not. If an officer decides to do that, fine. But that isn't their job. That's like expecting firefighters, who aren't armed, to attempt to stop a shooter. They don't do it. They wait for the people who are equipped for that scenario. Firefighters and paramedics stage in a safe area ALL THE TIME until police officers insure a scene is safe. How is that any different?
