We make no reports to law enforcement authorities. During the boating seasons, Vessel Safety Checks are offered on most weekends at various marinas in Central Virginia. To find out about Vessel Safety Checks in your area or to schedule one, contact the Flotilla in your area. Notices are also posted in local newspapers and at the local marinas. The Flotillas of Division 8 provide water safety patrols, during the boating season, primarily on weekends and holidays.
Patrols render assistance to boaters in any emergency.
Auxiliarists are available at other times for any emergency response. Air safety patrols are conducted when necessary. Auxiliarists also maintain a radio watch during these times, monitoring Channel 16 on the VFH radio. In case of an emergency while you are boating, use Channel 16 on your VFH radio to call the Auxiliary for assistance. If you do not have a radio or the Flotillas are not providing a radio watch, use your cell phone to call the local law enforcement authorities.
