It’s Time to Start Thinking About Boating Safety

Share

The boating season is nearly upon us and after a spike in interest last year, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources is promoting safety. Rachel Torbert notes the spike in interest last year very well may continue into the 2021 boating season and to that end, there are lots of safety measures to keep in mind.

Sober operation of those watercraft is of the utmost importance for law enforcement officials. Torbert stresses having a designated operator if there is going to be alcohol on a watercraft.
