WATER PATROL DIVISION
The Boone County Sheriff’s Office Water Patrol Division is charged with the duties of enforcing boating and safety regulations on the waterways located within Boone County, which includes portions of Bull Shoals and Table Rock Lakes. This Division consists of trained Deputies and Reserve Deputies.
The Water Patrol Division is responsible for answering calls for criminal activity, boating and safety violations, as well as calls to assist distressed boaters on those waterways that fall in our jurisdiction. They routinely patrol Bull Shoals Lake and Table Rock Lake and may legally stop and board your vessel to check for compliance with state and federal laws. You must comply with any directive given to you by these officers as they do have law enforcement authority in this area.
The Water Patrol Division uses a specially equipped bass boat that is clearly marked with the Sheriff’s Department logo for easy identification. The Division is also highly trained for use of this water craft with refresher courses on a routine basis.
