The mission of the Marine Division is to provide a safe and enjoyable boating environment on the waterways of Boundary County. This is accomplished through a balanced approach of law enforcement and boater safety education.
The Boundary County Marine Deputy responds to and investigates boating-related accidents and enforces state and local laws on Boundary County waterways.
Deputies respond to water related calls for service, boating accidents, water rescues, and search and recovery operations.
The Marine Division is responsible for patrolling the Kootenai River and Moyie River as well as numerous lowland lakes scattered throughout the county.
For information on upcoming Boater Safety Education classes please contact our dispatch center and leave a message for Detective Watts.
