The MVS unit in Kingston upon Thames is based on the non tidal River Thames between Teddington, Kingston-upon-Thames and Sunbury.
It was formed in September 2019 and expanded to its current areas of operation in the summer of 2023.
The primary purpose is to provide regular river safety patrols at weekends, with uniformed volunteers on board two vessels, the former Thames Police Launch ‘Blue Light’ and on the Pan Marine safety boat ‘Surrey Volunteer’
The unit aims to be ‘eyes along the river’ and to be a calming and reassuring presence for river users and people on the riverbank with a focus on river safety.
This is complimented by working with partner agencies on a number of water safety initiatives.
