Military of Monaco - Border Patrol & Patrol Boats

Border Patrol & Patrol Boats

Some military roles are assigned to the civil police, such as border patrol, and border defence, which are the responsibility of a special police unit officially named "The Maritime and Heliport Police Division", and which operates on land and at sea, using patrol boats and high-speed surveillance boats. Patrol boats are also operated by both the Corps des Sapeurs-Pompiers (firefighting) and the Compagnie des Carabiniers du Prince (police) which currently number 4 (see below).

Famous quotes containing the words border and/or boats:

    I have, indeed, even omitted facts, which, on account of their singularity, must in the eyes of some have appeared to border on the marvelous. But in the forests of South America such extraordinary realities are to be found, that there is assuredly no need to have recourse to fiction or the least exaggeration.
    —J.G. (John Gabriel)

    The frowsy sponge boats keep coming in
    with the obliging air of retrievers,
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
