RedactedNarrative: On Friday May 23, 2014, Operator 1 was working the evening tour of duty 1430 to 2300 hours. Operator 1 was operating marked vessel 808, and was docked in front of the Georgetown Water Front on routine water patrol. 
  
  At 1926 hours, Harbor Base voiced a radio run for assistance with a capsized vessel with one person in the water near the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. Operator 1 acknowledged the radio assignment and released his dock lines from the pier. Operator 1 activated his emergency lights and sounded the horn three times to make the surrounding boaters aware of his departure. As he began to back away from the pier he observed a commercial vessel behind him attempting to pull in and dock at the pier. To avoid collision with the commercial vessel, Operator 1 shifted the vessel into forward. As he shifted the vessel into forward he realized he needed to shift back into reverse to avoid colliding with Vessel 2 that had been rafted to other vessels. When Operator 1 shifted the vessel into reverse, the cleat located on the bow (starboard side), swung to the right and caught the anchor on Owner 2's vessel. 
  
  Vessel 1 did sustain minor paint transfer and scratches to the bow starboard side. Vessel 2 sustained damage to the anchor (bent), anchor plate, scratches to the starboard gel coat (bow) and some fiberglass damage where the anchor plate ripped away from the vessel. 
  
  
  A witness was located and provided a written statement in which he stated he observed the police boat backing up next to his boat when the police boat turned right and hit the blue boat. The witness further stated he believed the wind was blowing very hard and may have played a factor in the collision. At the time of the collision the weather was partly cloudy with wind gusts of up to 20 miles per hour.
