Police promote marine program

Making people who own boats
aware that not locking valuables is
an invitation to thieves is the goal
of Sidney RCMP community liai-
son officer Cst. Kim Horsman.

Along with the crew of the RCM
Police Vessel Harvison, Horsman
is holding a Marine Watch infor-
mation evening at the Sidney fire-
hall, Monday.

Marina and vessel security,
crime prevention, the marine
watch program and drug awareness
are all on the agenda.

“Most people don’t know any
serial numbers of items stolen, and
they don’t even know the model of
the item,” Horsman said.

“When that happens our chanc-
es of success (in recovering stolen
property) is really set back.

“Thieves not only walk into a
marina, they also come in by
boat,’ Horsman said. “It’s very

difficult to control.”

To prevent thefts on an ongoing
basis, the police suggest that boat-
ers remove valuables from the
vessel when it is being stored for
the winter.

Among the removable items that
are often reported stolen are small
outboard motors, VHF radios,
fishing equipment and liquor.

The marine watch program is
free of charge and begins at 7:30
p-m. in the Sidney firehall on
Third Street. For further informa-
tion, call Sidney RCMP at 656-
3931 or the P/V Harvison at
656-5231.
