Sanders Beach Owners Hire Private Security

Item: Sanders Beach owners turn to private security/Erica Curless, Spokesman-Review

More Info: Sanders Beach property owners have hired private security to patrol the popular Coeur d'Alene beach nights, weekends and holidays such as Independence Day. The owners say it's a way to educate the public about where private property ends and public land begins while getting better security than what the Coeur d'Alene police provide.

DFO: I have no problem with this arrangement, as long as the Sanders Beach owners know that their property ends at the waterline -- and their security has no right to intimidate anyone who's wading just off shore.

Question: Do you still use Sanders Beach?
