Sheriff adds Westveer as marine division head for Ottawa County
The Ottawa County Sheriff's Office prepares for a mid summer transition as Eric Westveer takes over the Marine Division after DeVries retires. Westveer, with 17 years road patrol, also leads the mounted division and reserve deputies and emphasizes cross agency collaboration and boating safety education. A no wake reminder and life jacket use are highlighted as crucial to safe boating. The office partners with the Holland Coast Guard Auxiliary to offer free vessel safety inspections on May 12 at Ottawa Beach Road, with orange decals for compliant boats and year round inspection options.
