Explaining: "Lifebuoys are placed at rivers across the County to assist people in trouble in the water. Please don't vandalise them - they could save someone's life."
It comes after Slough Borough Council urged people to think twice before damaging the water equipment.
Jubilee River patrols have revealed some of the buoys there have been vandalised - including the buoy placed on the bridge where Michael Scaife, 20, died of cold water shock on a hot day like today.
