Explanation:

To determine the point of view, we analyze the narration: the passage uses third - person pronouns like "he", "the captain", "Officer Delinko" to refer to characters, and the narrator is not a character in the story (no use of "I" as the main narrator) nor does it address the reader as "you" (second - person). So it's third - person point of view.

Answer:

third person
