Sheriff’s Office purchasing boat

The Mason County Sheriff’s Office bought a patrol vessel from the Lakewood Police Department.

According to the information packet, the Sheriff’s Office had an opportunity to buy an additional patrol vessel for a discounted price from Lakewood. The vessel is reportedly better equipped to handle conditions encountered on Puget Sound. The purchase will allow the Sheriff’s Office to put a vessel on Lake Cushman.

The budget effect is up to $65,000 from the restricted reserve in the boating fund to purchase the vessel and necessary improvements.
