Oceanside Community Safety

During this time period the Oceanside RCMP received 273 complaints.

According to the Association of School Transportation Services of British Columbia, travel by school bus is statistically the safest method of ground transportation in Canada and by a substantial margin. We all expect and demand nothing less when our children and grandchildren are riding those buses to and from schools and school related events.

During this time period the Oceanside RCMP received 269 complaints.

OCSV Program Manager Michael Garland speaks about current community safety events on our local radio stations The Beach and The Lounge. If you missed the broadcast, you can listen here:

We place a high value on our children and signify that with school and playground zones. Traffic is required to slow to the lowest speed limit that we normally post and drivers are expected to pay more attention than usual. Students must get to and from school safely.

During this time period the Oceanside RCMP received 307 complaints.

The crossing guard is taking on a big responsibility when it comes to helping our children cross busy highways and intersections on their way to and from school each day. Traffic is in a hurry, the children don't always pay the attention that they should and sometimes the road conditions are poor or visibility is not good. It is not a job to be taken lightly!

During this time period the Oceanside RCMP received 317 complaints.
