Federal, state, county, regional and local government agencies took to the waters of the Port Washington marina on Thursday for training on emergency scenarios.

The Department of Homeland Security's training exercise involved drug trafficking by boat, air operations, a dive team, a bomb squad and a hazmat team.

Patch took a ride on one of the rescue boats during what people involved called a successful training exercise. If you missed the action Thursday, click through the pictures to get a taste of what went on.
