Waterguard The Waterguard was the name given to a division of HM Customs and Excise responsible for the control of vessels, aircraft, vehicles and persons arriving into and departing from the United Kingdom. This included crew members and passengers, as well as persons travelling on foot. Waterguard officers were responsible for applying the allowances provided for in law and for collection of customs and excise revenue on the excess. The officers were also responsible for the enforcement of the prohibitions and restrictions, including controlled drugs and plant and animal health. It officially ceased to exist in 1972, with the reorganization of HM Customs and Excise. ==History== Formed in 1809 as the "Preventive Waterguard" (also known as the Preventative Boat Service〔House of Commons Sessional Papers 1819 (569) XVII, 77; "A Return of Officers and Men appointed to the Preventative Boat Service between November 1816 and March 1819"〕) to combat smuggling, the Waterguard was the sea-based arm of revenue enforcement and complemented the "riding officers" who patrolled the shore. The Waterguard was initially based in Watch Houses around the coast, and boat crews patrolled the coast in cutters each night. It was under Admiralty control from 1816 to 1822, when it and riding officers were amalgamated under the control of the Board of Customs. The Waterguard was absorbed into the Customs and Excise department in 1909.
