Oceanside Community Safety

During this time period the Oceanside RCMP received 229 complaints.

The Fairwinds Community Association (FCA) received a community grant through the Regional District of Nanaimo to support Nanoose Bay residents in being prepared in the event of an emergency or disaster including prolonged power outages and windstorms. For those of us to live in Nanoose, we should expect to be self-sufficient for a minimum of two weeks should a significant disaster occur.  

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.
