A coast guard or coastguard is a maritime security organization of a particular country. The term implies widely different responsibilities in different countries, from being a heavily armed military force with customs and security duties to being a volunteer organization tasked with search and rescue functions and lacking any law enforcement powers. However, a typical coast guard’s functions are distinct from typical functions of both the navy (a pure military force) and a transportation police (a civilian law enforcement agency).
