Water Patrol is a reality television series that aired on Ohm TV in 2013, following the lives of a group of law enforcement officials who dedicated their lives service in order to protect the people and the environment. The series highlighted the missions of these brave individuals as they patrol the waterways, ensuring that boaters and others using the water observe the numerous laws and regulations designed to keep everyone safe.

The show is set in the picturesque and popular city of Miami Beach, Florida. The crystal clear turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean are a significant attraction for locals and tourists alike, and the Miami coastline has numerous recreational opportunities, from boating and fishing to water skiing and swimming. However, there is a significant regulatory framework governing the use of these waterways, which culminated in the establishment of the Miami Beach Water Patrol.

Water Patrol follows a group of dedicated individuals who work day and night patrolling the waterways of Miami Beach, ensuring that all activities are carried out responsibly and safely. The show is set in Miami in a post-9/11 world, where the country was already deeply conscious of the need for security and safety measures.

The show documents that officers have the task of guarding the Miami coastline, both above and below the water's surface. In addition to the typical duties of a patrol officer, these individuals are required to be divers as well. They conduct patrols using police boats, jet skis, and helicopters. They also work with other local law enforcement agencies, such as the Coast Guard, in order to keep everyone safe.

The show focuses on the officers' daily life and their work. It shows them waking up at all hours of the day and night to respond to emergencies on the waterways. They deal with accidents that occur frequently on the water, such as mishaps involving jet skis, speedboats, yachts, and sailboats, sometimes resulting in serious injuries and even fatalities.

One episode follows a group of officers as they try to save the lives of a group of swimmers who were caught in a rip current and were struggling to get back to shore. Another episode documents a high-speed chase involving a boat that was suspected of being involved in a drug cartel. The officers have to remain calm and intense during these situations, even when the danger seems daunting and the odds are against them.

The show highlights the role of Water Patrol officers in investigating everything from minor disturbances on the water to major criminal activity. It shows them off-duty, sharing meals and drinks, working on their boats, and positioning their equipment for the next emergency.

The officers face numerous challenges daily. The show reveals that the Miami Beach waterways are often chaotic with all manner of vessels vying for position. The officers also face a significant language barrier, with many boaters speaking different languages. They are required to be adept in communicating in Spanish, English, and other languages.

The show captures the humorous and light sides of the officers' work as well, such as their chiding of one another in their break room or the jokes they share while on patrol. It also captures the officers' camaraderie, how they work together as a team, and how they are all dedicated to ensuring that their waterways remain safe for everyone.

In conclusion, Water Patrol is a reality television series that offers a unique glimpse into the world of law enforcement officials who patrol waterways in Miami Beach to keep citizens safe. It is a show that will thrill, engage, entertain, and inform viewers about the vital role that Water Patrol officers play in protecting citizens in this popular tourist town.
