Stay safe and cool on the water this weekend

Over the recent long weekend, Water Operations Police had vessels and jet skis conducting patrols along metropolitan beaches.

Police conducted a number of drug and alcohol tests, with one person testing positive to drugs at Moana.

Police also work closely with Marine Safety to ensure compliance with safety and licence requirements and issued three general expiation notices over the long weekend on the coast.

With hot weather forecast, police expect many people will be heading out on coastal waters.

To ensure everyone has a good time while out on the water, make sure you have all the right equipment on board and don’t drink and drive.
