Bullhead City releases PWC safety guidance; police promote PACT Academy and mobile crisis unit
Summary
Chief Robert Treves introduced a boating-safety video highlighting life-jacket use, no-wake zones, a 60-foot separation rule and the Davis Dam schedule; city police also described the PACT Academy and a mobile crisis unit that assists law enforcement and EMS with on-scene mental-health crises.
Chief Robert Treves of the Bullhead City Police Department introduced a boating-safety video reminding operators of personal watercraft (PWC) rules. The video and accompanying narration emphasized wearing properly fitted life jackets, maintaining at least 60 feet between craft when above wakeless speed, following the counterclockwise traffic pattern on the river, avoiding dangerous maneuvers (including spraying others or jumping wakes) and complying with marked no-wake zones near launches and marinas. The recording also advised operators to consult the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation website for Davis Dam release schedules.
The police department also described community-outreach programs. A speaker identified the Bullhead City Police Department—s PACT (Police and Citizens Together) Academy, noting it provides behind-the-scenes tours of the department, 911 dispatch and forensics, and practical demonstrations. Another segment described a mobile crisis unit (Bullhead Area Community Crisis Unification Program) that responds to on-scene mental-health crises to support law enforcement and EMS and to get trained responders to callers in crisis.
These segments were presented as public-safety information and recruitment/outreach materials; no formal policy changes or enforcement actions (fines/penalty roll calls) were recorded during the public portion of the meeting video.
