RedactedNarrative: SYNOPSIS:
  
  While on patrol I was notified of a boat that sank and occupants were in the water. I responded and someone had picked up the occupants in a boat. The boat was not to be seen. Witness statements were retrieved from the occupants. The boat was a rental and the company was contacted. A vessel recovery is being scheduled with the rental company.
  
  The water conditions were choppy and the wind was blowing North. GPS Coordinates were marked where the debris field was. The items were being pushed North of our location.  
  
  INVESTIGATION:
  
  No injuries occurred and medical responders released the occupants without transport to a hospital. Witness statements were collected from the occupants of the boat. I had asked them what had happened. Subject said the engine stopped and they were drifting. Then the occupants looked inside where the engine was and water was in there. The water continued to come in until the boat had sank. I asked if they were all wearing life jackets. They said they were before the incident occurred. I asked if the plug was put in. They said it was. Personal Items lost were: 2 I phone 6's, and vehicle keys. 
  
  The boat was rented from Peak Adventures in Woodscross, UT. I contacted the rental company and spoke with one of the owners. I notified him of the boat rented out had sunk in Willard Bay. I requested registration and insurance documents of the boat. He told me he would email them to me. I told him the boat needed to be recovered by them. I told him I documented the GPS coordinates of the debris field and would provide that to him. 
  
  CONCLUSION::
  
  The cause of boat sinking is undetermined as of now. When the boat is recovered an examination will take place to determine the cause. Based on the information that I have now 2 factors may have a role in the cause. The first factor is the weather. The wind was blowing between 12-25 miles per hours. This caused choppy conditions that may have introduced water into the boat. The second factor is equipment failure. The statements from the occupants of the boat stated the engine compartment was full of water. The water was introduced somehow into the bilge which led to the sinking.
