Coast Guard Station Detroit

Coast Guard Station Detroit, established in 1874, is one of the oldest United States Coast Guard stations on the Great Lakes. Strategically located on the Detroit River, the unit plays a vital role in maritime safety, search and rescue, law enforcement, and environmental protection in one of the nation’s busiest waterways. Over the decades, Station Detroit has responded to countless emergencies, aided commercial and recreational vessels, and supported homeland security operations. The station continues to serve as a critical hub for Coast Guard activities in the Detroit metropolitan area and the broader Great Lakes region.
