Answering the requests and concerns of many community members throughout West Marin, I will be adding a number of extra patrol deputies throughout the July 4th holiday weekend up and down our West Marin coast. This will include the usual holiday hotspots, Stinson Beach, downtown Bolinas and beach, Pt, Reyes Station all the way North to Dillon's Beach.
Do t get me wrong, I love a great holiday weekend just like the next person, but the beauty of our coast lands, parks, and communities draws people from all over like moths to a flame.
If the weather is warm we can expect heavy traffic on our small 2-lane roadways and sometimes believe it or not, people get a little thirsty which I've heard leads to some to have a few too many adult beverages...which is fine as long as your responsible but for some reason big holiday weekends like this tend to lead to poor choices and we (cop types) get called to help mediate the problem.
Exercising ZERO TOLERANCE that weekend to those who ruin it for everyone else I hope for a safe and fun weekend for all.
As always, my door is open to all, or if easier drop me an email at dpittman@marinsheriff.org of any concerns, thoughts or suggestions you may have to make this Fourth of July Holiday the best for everyone!
Best!
Sheriff Doug
