JCSO Marine Patrol Offers Boat Safety Exams (Photo)

WHITE CITY, Ore. -  It's spring - time for the annual "dry dock" weekends! Jackson County Sheriff’s Office marine patrol deputies will check your boat or personal watercraft for required safety equipment.

Bring your boats to the Marine Patrol office at 620 Antelope Road from 9 am to 4 pm on April 6-7 and 13-14. No appointment is required.

Deputies will issue Oregon State Marine Board stickers (they’re green this year!) to watercraft that pass inspection. The U.S Coast Guard Auxiliary will also be on hand to provide a vessel safety check (VSC) for equipment required on Federal waters.

Save yourself a trip - check the official OSMB equipment requirements before you bring your boat to us: https://www.oregon.gov/osmb/boater-info/Pages/Equipment-and-Regulations.aspx
