Send the Defender: it's a lot faster and has guns.

The question is, what will a 25' RB-S of the Defender B-class have in the line of communications gear, sensors, CIC or other homeland security / law enforcement stuff that allows them to find, localise and analyze the jamming, as well as checking if there is any sign of a riot, hostage situation or some kind of threat at the asylum?

Can they tell from a distance whether any story the Warden chooses to try to avoid them coming ashore is false?
Give me a little while to read the boat's operator's manual (warning: huge download).

Would they be constantly trying to reach Agent Banks and O'Toole on the DHS radio network frequency as well as the Coast Guard emergency frequency that O'Toole used?
Regularly, but likely not constantly -- there aren't going to be that many people on-shift, and they still have to listen for other distress calls.
