Taking the jet ski out for a spin this weekend? Ride responsibly.
The Water Police will have a new eye on hoons as they team up with local officers to crack down on poor jet ski behaviour this summer.
Every Water Police Squad member is now equipped with a body worn camera to record video and audio of jet ski incidents and interactions with vessel operators – a first for Victoria Police.
Residents and visitors can expect to see police blitz popular beaches to spot dangerous operators – in vehicles, on foot and on the water. This includes conducting breath tests, licence checks and vessel inspections on boat ramps.
If you’re planning on setting sail this warm weekend, make sure you're carrying the mandatory safety equipment for your vessel, such as:
🦺 lifejackets
🔦 torches
🧯 and fire extinguishers.
