A police boat is usually a small sea-faring vessel that is used by police agencies to patrol bodies of water. They are usually employed in enclosed harbors near cities or in places where a stronger police presence than that offered by the Coast Guard is needed.

Police boats are usually manned by one to three police officers and have high-performance engines in order to catch up with fleeing fugitives in the water.
