Boating Safety Classes
DNR Control Orders
Required Equipment

The Marine Division is composed of full time road patrol deputies or corrections officers here at the Sheriff Department.  Any employee working Marine duties has not only taken the Boating Safety Class that we teach the general public, they also receive additional training in search and rescue operations, law updates that relate to Marine duties, boat handling both in the water and on the trailer.

While patrolling the waters of Livingston County we want to ensure a safe and relaxing environment for everyone.  Frequent safety inspections not only give us the opportunity to inspect your boat for safe operation, It also is a great way to talk to the residents of the lake.  We are generally only on any body of water for a few hours a week.  Contact with the residents allows them to tell us where (and in some cases, who) the problems are.  It is much easier to solve a problem if you are aware of the problem!
