EMPHASIS: Troop I To Offer Certified Boating Safety Course


Captain Lee Ann H. Kenley, commanding officer of Troop I, announces a boating safety certification course being offered to the public on Saturday, March 24, 2012, at Troop I Headquarters, 1301 Nagogami Road, Rolla. The class will begin at 12 p.m. and conclude at approximately 6 p.m. There is no fee for this course; however, students are required to pre-register online as seating will be limited. For more information, to register for the course, or to obtain a complete listing of where other courses are being offered, you may visit the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s website, www.mshp.dps.mo.gov. Once there, select “Divisions”, “Water Patrol Division”, and then “Boater Safety Education & Certification”. On the day of the class, the “Boater Safety” link also will post if the course is being cancelled due to an insufficient number of participants.
Missouri law requires any person born after January 1, 1984, to carry a boating safety certification card along with a picture ID anytime they operate a vessel, which includes personal watercraft, on Missouri lakes. Any student who successfully passes the course will be eligible to order the boating safety certification card for $15.
