RedactedNarrative: On Saturday, August 31, 2013, at 1910 hours, Metropolitan Police Department, Harbor Patrol Cruiser received an assignment for two persons in the water, Georgetown Channel in the area of Arlington Memorial Bridge, whom had jumped from the yacht “Boomerang”.  Both Cruisers were docked alongside each other at the Washington Harbor pier located at 3000 K Street, NW, along the Georgetown Channel along with several privately owned vessels. 
    
  Cruiser was the first vessel to depart from the dock heading west and then turning south toward the Arlington Memorial Bridge.  Cruiser1 then departed from the dock with the engines facing to the port (left) causing the vessel to turn to the port.  Once clear of the dock the operator of Cruiser2 accelerated at an excessive rate of speed while the engines were still facing port causing the vessel to head directly back toward the dock.  The operator then quickly turned the engines to the starboard (right) in attempt to avoid a collision with vessel number two (2) which was docked.  Due to excessive acceleration and rapid turning to the starboard the operator of Cruiser1 was not able to control his turning maneuver causing the port side engine lower unit to strike vessel number two (2) and the port side chines of Cruiser1 to strike vessel number (3) on the port side. 
  
  The wake created by the excessive acceleration of Cruiser1 and the kinetic energy created by the collision caused vessels number four (4), five (5), six (6) and seven (7) to collide with the dock causing damage.  Additionally, one (1) metal ring, which is used for line tying at the dock, was broken off.
