PPE and waivers-

Weather is in "flux" as we transition from spring to summer. Water temperatures have remained somewhat steady throughout much of our region. On the other hand, air temperatures can and have changed drastically. As such, PPE waivers for anti-exposure coveralls (AEP’s) are required if either air or water temperature is less than 60 (see chart below). For example, a waiver would be required for a water temp of 55 and an air temp of 75. In this scenario, the air temp is above 60, but the water temp is below 60. In this case, a waiver would be required from the OIA:



 


Working with agencies outside the Coast Guard-

Many of you encounter and work with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies (sheriff, police, state/national parks officers). This is acceptable provided the Auxiliary does not engage in law enforcement activity. The only exception to this rule is that an Auxiliarist may transport law enforcement personnel provided there is "minimal" risk to crew and facility. Keep in mind, however, that this exception is granted on a case-by-case basis with the approval of the Order Issuing Authority. Note- training with law enforcement personnel is perfectly acceptable and exempt from this requirement.
