Halton Regional Police Service

April 26 the Halton Regional Police Service Chief Gary Crowell and Mr. Bob Maich, Chairman of the Halton Regional Police Services, proudly announced the newest vessel in their Marine Unit “Marine 1” into service.

The new 39-foot Hike vessel will allow the Halton Regional Police Service Marine Unit to respond to distress calls on Lake Ontario in severe weather and lake conditions, as well as provide an effective method of enforcing the Criminal Code, Liquor License Act and the Canada Shipping Act in the Region.

“With the proposed improvements and expansion of the Burlington waterfront, the increase in dockage at local marinas, and the growth in marine traffic through Halton, this new vessel will help ensure a proper level of police response on land and on water,” said S/Sgt. Don Cousens.

The Halton Regional Police Service launched their first boat in 1988; the Halton Star was a B-28 vessel that patrolled the waters of Lake Ontario bordering the Halton Region for years.

Please join Chief Gary Crowell and Mr. Bob Maich, Chairman of the Halton Regional Police Services Board and other dignitaries as they officially welcome “Marine 1” to the Service.
