Hello . I'm Lieutenant Junior grade ,

00:02.411 --> 00:04.078
Douglas Fiedler . I'm the law

00:04.078 --> 00:06.411
enforcement officer on board . Customer ,

00:06.411 --> 00:06.400
Peter James . Uh , yesterday , we had

00:06.409 --> 00:08.576
the great opportunity to go on board .

00:08.576 --> 00:11.239
Uh , uh GC 24 Mantilla , one of the

00:11.250 --> 00:13.361
prefect to Coast Guard ships . It's a

00:13.369 --> 00:15.591
great opportunity where we were able to

00:15.591 --> 00:17.480
go on board , uh , meet their law

00:17.480 --> 00:19.702
enforcement team , uh , demonstrate how

00:19.702 --> 00:21.702
we conduct the boarding and then we

00:21.702 --> 00:23.702
were able to take them on board our

00:23.702 --> 00:25.869
ship and they were able to do the same

00:25.869 --> 00:27.813
and show us how they conduct their

00:27.813 --> 00:29.925
boarding . Definitely , um , as a law

00:29.925 --> 00:32.147
enforcement officer on board , I get to

00:32.147 --> 00:34.147
basically have oversight of the law

00:34.147 --> 00:36.036
enforcement program that involves

00:36.036 --> 00:38.470
assisting with training and qualifying

00:38.479 --> 00:40.590
our boarding team . And with that , I

00:40.590 --> 00:42.590
get to have the opportunity to be a

00:42.590 --> 00:44.812
boarding officer myself . So I was able

00:44.812 --> 00:46.979
to go over , uh , acting as a boarding

00:46.979 --> 00:49.257
officer . Uh , with my , uh , me , one ,

00:49.840 --> 00:52.007
one of my favorite parts about being a

00:52.007 --> 00:54.110
law enforcement officer on board is

00:54.119 --> 00:56.175
definitely seeing the entire mission

00:56.175 --> 00:58.452
from start to finish during the import .

00:58.452 --> 01:00.508
We spend a lot of hours training and

01:00.508 --> 01:02.675
building the crew and being a boarding

01:02.675 --> 01:04.841
team member on board isn't a call that

01:05.510 --> 01:08.000
just for my division , it's a

01:08.010 --> 01:10.120
collateral that anyone on board can

01:10.129 --> 01:11.907
pursue . So getting to see that

01:11.907 --> 01:14.309
opportunity of training from the

01:14.319 --> 01:16.375
beginning all the way to the mission

01:16.375 --> 01:18.430
execution of getting on board . Just

01:18.430 --> 01:20.541
watching that all come full circle on

01:20.541 --> 01:20.440
patrol is pretty awesome .
