KDWP Targets Impaired Boaters Over July 4th Weekend

 

If you were on one of Kansas’ public lakes, reservoirs or waterways over the 4th of July weekend you might have been made aware of Operation Dry Water – a nationwide law enforcement effort to prevent boating under the influence.

Game Wardens spent last weekend targeting impaired boat operators and safety violations to keep Kansans safe while recreating on the water. As a result of the operation, wardens arrested two boat operators for BUI, 39 boating violation citations were issued and 80 warnings were given out.

The holiday weekend proved to be a safe one with only one reportable boat accident with no injuries. During their time on the water, game wardens also assisted 30 stranded boats and completed 6 search and rescue missions.

Thanks to the outreach efforts of the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators, US Coast Guard and law enforcement agencies, like KDWP, Operation Dry Water will remain a nationwide priority year-round.
