“I’m so proud of our Marine Unit, who not only demonstrated their commitment to public safety, but also put their years of experience, training and professionalism on full display by saving three community members from the bay,” said Sheriff Ken Binder. “The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office is proud to serve our community on land, in the air and on the water.”

The passengers appeared uninjured but were shaking from exposure to the cold water. They were taken to Coyote Point Marina, where San Mateo Consolidated Fire Department personnel evaluated them before clearing them to leave.
