COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The North Chain of Lakes Association has donated four self-inflating personal flotation devices to the Branch County Sheriff’s Department Marine Patrol.
Association President Terry Reen made the presentation to Sheriff John Pollack and Marine Patrol Deputy Shane Norton.
Norton said the jackets will be a great asset for Marine Officers as they patrol. “Unlike normal PFD’s that are always inflated, these vests remain un-inflated allowing the officer greater movement while they are working. Should an officer enter the water, the vest will automatically inflate for their safety.”
The Sheriff’s Office is grateful for the relationship they have had over the years with the lake associations who have donated equipment to assist officers in making Branch County waters safer.
