 Marine Safety and Law Enforcement Program Safety on the water is a high priority for boaters and for the Marine Board, Oregon's recreational boating agency. One way to promote safety is by enforcing boating regulations. Under the Marine Board’s direction, state and county agencies work together to create a safe, enjoyable environment for all boaters. The Marine Board contracts with county sheriffs and the Oregon State Police to provide marine services. Marine personnel patrol Oregon’s waterways and enforce boating laws. In addition, county marine programs improve boating by educating youth in public schools and providing other boating-related services. Law Enforcement Directory Officer Training Marine officers require special skills and knowledge. In addition to police training, marine officers undergo training in the Marine Board’s MSLE Academy. There, officers learn skills such as boat handling and water rescue. Prior to receiving marine certification, they must demonstrate extensive knowledge of boating safety issues, laws and regulations.
