Oceanside Community Safety

On December 18th at the Qualicum Beach Civic Centre members of the OCSV Board of Directors, friends and family gathered to show our appreciation to the 5, 10, 15 and 20-year service award recipients, and for the first time in our organization’s history a 25-year recipient!

During this time period the Oceanside RCMP received 229 complaints.

I read an article recently about conspicuity for police officers working on the highway. It suggested that the reflective vests and jackets that we use to stand out and be identified by drivers at night were not very effective. A driver had to approach closely when using low beam headlights to see a reflection, and the reflections that were seen did not immediately suggest that what the driver was looking at was a pedestrian.

During this time period the Oceanside RCMP received 203 complaints.

During this time period the Oceanside RCMP received 225 complaints.

Oceanside Community Safety's Traffic Watch group performed 10 deployments during the month of December 2019 contributing 45.3 hours of volunteer time.

Chances are good that when you think about car insurance your first thought is about how much it is going to cost you rather than how well it is going to protect you if something goes wrong. You might even be tempted to shade the truth about who will be driving your vehicle or how they will be using it to reduce those costs.

During this time period the Oceanside RCMP received 223 complaints.
