The Balmain Water Police Station was built in 2004 at a cost of $7.5 million. It has an important role in supporting the New South Wales Police Department by enforcing maritime laws and ensuring safety and security in waterways. The station has a range of boats, including chase, patrol, and long-range boats. Additionally, it has an elite dive team whose responsibility is to retrieve evidence and, unfortunately, people. The Balmain Water Police Station is a crucial asset to the police department, providing a significant presence on the water and helping to keep everyone safe.
