BCSO uses $643,000 grant to purchase new boat, which could help during major storms

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — The mission of the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office Marine Patrol Unit is simple: patrol the waters of Brunswick County.
The addition of a new vessel looks to further support that mission.
The sheriff’s office recently received a grant totaling more than $643,000 to purchase a marine patrol vessel that is more capable for navigating high seas than the department’s current fleet of boats.
