RedactedNarrative: On October 15, 2017 at approximately 1427 hours, I Officer First Class with the Maryland Natural Resources Police was on patrol in marked Natural Resources Police vehicle number 447 in the area of Thompson Creek Landing when I received a call from DNR Police communications in reference to an overturned vessel with people in the water screaming for help in the area of Chester River outside of Jackson Creek.
  
  I then responded to marked Natural Resources Police boat number 713 located at the Kent Narrows with Ofc.. We arrived on scene at 1440 hours and located a man clinging to a capsized canoe screaming for help. We pulled Subject1 aboard, our vessel and he immediately collapsed on the deck. When we asked him if there were any other people in the water he said there was one more. 
  
  We then continued to search and located a 12 year old boy treading in open water by himself, in between Jackson Creek and where the canoe was found capsized. We pulled him aboard and identified him as the grandson of Subject1, and confirmed there were no other individuals in the water. 
  
  We determined both individuals would need to seek medical attention, so we transported them to where EMS was staged. EMS transported both individuals to Queen Anne's Emergency Room where they were later released. Both individuals claimed to have been fishing when the canoe capsized. Both occupants also said they were in the water for 1 hour before they were rescued. The canoe did not have any PFD's onboard and it was also not equipped with a required sound producing device, to use in case of emergency.
  
  Grasonville Volunteer Fire Department Fire Boat 2 transported the canoe to the Natural Resources Police boat slips in the Kent Narrows where it was later picked up by a family member and returned to Subject1.
  
  All events occurred in Queen Anne's County, MD.
