Do police have flotation equipment in every police car, on the off chance that someone jumps in a river or lake?
I don’t know the answer to that, but pose the question, as to whether police can anticipate every stupid thing somebody might do.
Of course if the guy was high on drugs, he may well have drowned anyway, even if police did have flotation devices on hand.
We need more information to know what our judgement should be.
I don't know but considering how often people who can not swim go in the water maybe they should.
But they should have a rope and something that would work as a grab pole.

Someone going into the water whether voluntarily or by accident is not uncommon. Being high is a twist, usually they are drunk.

Very possible. Especially if he panicked.

Totally agree.
Please understand I do not think mommy dearest should get anything. What I want to know if the police should have more or different equipment or training.
Because like I said, people do go in the water on a regular basis and often the police will be first on the scene.
Probably was no helping this person but might be able to save someone in the future.
