Ogdensburg Coast Gaurd Auxiliary holds ceremony to swear in elected officials

OGDENSBURG -- The Coast Guard’s Ogdensburg Auxiliary recently held a “Change of Watch” ceremony at The Place.

All levels of the auxiliary, including the flotilla, division, district and national, hold a formal change of watch ceremony each year to swear in the elected officials for the following year.

The auxiliary is an all volunteer organization that assists the Coast Guard with water safety tasks.

The auxiliary teaches boating safety classes, does vessel safety checks unrelated to law enforcement, and does “on the water” safety patrols.
