Lake County Receives New Patrol Boat

[cid:image002.jpg at 01CF6E8B.51D84070]            Lake County Sheriff's Office will soon have a new patrol boat to help marine law enforcement patrolling the county's high elevation lakes.  The Marine Board recently procured a special purpose skiff to help Lake County's marine patrols access waterways in rugged areas.
The new patrol boat is a 14 -foot River Hawk open skiff, with a 20 horsepower Suzuki fuel-injected outboard motor.  This boat is easy to transport and trailer on remote roads and will operate at a fraction of the fuel costs used by their previous boat.  The River Hawk was purchased with a combination of county cash and a trade in value of the old patrol boat.  The purchase price was $2,000.
The average age of the current Marine Board boat fleet statewide is 15 years.  The Marine Board developed a procurement and retention schedule similar those used for law enforcement vehicles and is retiring older boats with newer models that require less fuel and maintenance.
