Press Release

Key Biscayne Police Chief, Charles Press, is on a campaign to push for safer boating in his idyllic waterfront village known as Key Biscayne.  One would assume that any law enforcement officer, yet alone one with Chief of Police status, would naturally promote the safety and well-being of their citizens.  But for Chief Press  the matter is very personal… he almost lost his daughter to a boating accident.  The backstory can be found here:

By mapping out an improved boating safety plan for his department and by raising private funds, Chief Press was able to purchase a new, innovative patrol boat and hire two full time officers dedicated to this vessel.  (Nautical Ventures was the business intermediary for the transaction to build and deliver a custom Ribcraft 7.8 professional rigid inflatable boat.)

Delivery of this vessel, along with a launching ceremony and sea trials, will be held on:

Date:               Friday May 22^nd

Time:               10:00 AM

Location:         Crandon Park Marina

                        4000 Crandon Blvd.

                        Key Biscayne, FL 33149

Chief Press will be speaking at this event, providing full details of his safety program and answer questions from attending members of the press.
