Subject:California Department of Boating & Waterways POST Boating Safety Course Grant
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
to provide the certified course at no cost to the County. DBW recognizes the critical importance of providing
professional maritime boating safety and education training and, as such, requested the Sheriff’s Marine Patrol to
provide this boating skills and operations course.
Currently, and without this grant, the Office of the Sheriff spends approximately $11,000 per year training personnel
to serve in the Marine Patrol Unit. Of this cost $1,200 is paid to send deputies to San Bernardino County to receive the
only State of California Department of Boating and Waterways (DBW) Peace Officer’s Standards and Training
(POST) certified boating skills and operations course offered in the state. This DBW grant will eliminate the training
expenses currently spent to train our own personnel, and will prove a revenue generator as the Sheriff’s Office will
offer the only DBW POST certified boating safety and operations course in Northern California.
