There's not a hard line. There's an overlap. A variety of MOUs and CONOPS are in place to cover as many cases as can be predicted.
As an example: we had a LE det on our Cruiser. (About 30 years ago).
Most of the time, we were steaming regular Navy Ops. Now and again we'd get a radio call from the JTF for drug enforcement (as SASless notes, a multi agency task force) and we'd run up the Coast Guard Flag.
The guy in charge of the LE det was now Captain (more or less) a fact which used to piss off our Captain no end.
And then we'd go and pull over a boat that we'd been cued to chase down.
As to this particular case: nice job.
