Intergovernmental Agreement <br /> State Parks recommends zero tolerance policy in the enforcement of mandatory boater education card <br /> carriage, life jacket wear/carriage, boating under the influence and rules of the road violations. Officers/ <br /> Deputies should strongly consider issuing citations for violations of these laws in all circumstances. <br /> The SECTOR system should be used to issue boating citations and warnings. State Parks will no longer <br /> accept mailed-in paper inspection forms, although State Parks will continue to provide paper inspection <br /> forms to agencies for internal use. <br /> Boating Safety Inspections <br /> Participating agencies must complete written boating safety inspections during enforcement and <br /> informational contacts when considered safe and appropriate to document boater compliance with <br /> state boating laws. State Parks will provide boating safety inspection forms. Copies of the completed <br /> inspections must be submitted to State Parks for statistical purposes. Inspections conducted in SECTOR <br /> do not have to be reported to State Parks. <br /> NOTE:We will not accept paper inspection forms after January 1, 2019.All inspections must be <br /> submitted using SECTOR. <br /> State Parks has calculated suggested minimum goals for the number of boating safety inspections an <br /> agency performs in a boating season based on size. <br /> Suggested Written Inspections— Minimum Goals <br /> • Small, 92 <br /> • Medium, 283 <br /> • Large,372 <br /> Boating Safety Education / Designated Education Officer/ Deputy <br /> Participating agencies must have a boating safety education and information program. At a minimum, <br /> they must designate an Officer/Deputy,trained by State Parks,to coordinate the activities of boating <br /> safety education instructors, act as liaison to boating education organizations and to coordinate: <br /> • Boating safety presentations,which may include presentations to primary and secondary school <br /> children, boating organizations,or youth groups. <br /> • Boating safety instruction meaning a public course of instruction using the Adventures in <br /> Boating materials from State Parks, or other state or nationally recognized curriculum approved <br /> by State Parks. <br /> • Distribution of boating safety information, including materials provided by State Parks,to <br /> boating and outdoor recreation organizations,the boating public, public agencies, and local <br /> media. <br /> Page 60 of 64 <br />
