The NSW Police Force Marine Area Command inland waterway enforcement was part of the policing role in the Hawkesbury over the long weekend.
On Saturday, enforcement was conducted in the Sackville, Lower Portland and Wisemans Ferry sectors of the Hawkesbury River.
The Operation was a combined response using the Hawkesbury Police Launch and Marine Area Command supplying two high-performance PWC (jet skis).
Sixty-two safety compliance checks were conducted along with 59 breath tests (masters and skiers) and three drug tests were performed on Saturday.
As a result of the enforcement, one rider of a PWC was issued a $250 infringement for improper use of his watercraft, two Life Jacket Boating Infringement Notices issued along with a number of formal warnings.
