TEAMWORK PAID OFF TODAY. PBSO Marine and Aviation Unit worked together to save a life.

Just before 2 am this morning, deputies from the Marine Unit were dispatched to a “man overboard” call 5 miles east of the Boynton Beach Inlet. Once they arrived and spoke with the complainant deputies learned a male occupant either jumped or fell from the vessel. PBSO Eagle helicopter was requested. The pilot located the male swimming 1 ½ miles from where the vessel was located. The pilot was able to direct Marine Unit deputies to that location where the male was pulled safely from the water.
