During the weekend of June 27, 2015, through June 28, 2015, deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Parks Bureau will participate in “Operation Dry Water.” Operation Dry Water is a nationwide education and enforcement initiative launched by The National Association of State Boating Law Administrators in partnership with the U.S. Coast Guard. “Operation Dry Water” takes place just before the 4th of July, a holiday known for drinking and boating, and deadly accidents. With Boating Under the Influence (B.U.I.) continuing to be a major factor in accidents and deaths on our nation’s waterways, thousands of officers with local, state, and federal agencies team up for “Operation Dry Water” in a coordinated effort to be on the water providing heightened enforcement and awareness about the dangers of boating while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The Sheriff’s Department will increase its presence at both Castaic Lake and Pyramid Lake during “Operation Dry Water” by conducting traffic stops and B.U.I. sobriety check points. For additional information, contact Sergeant Roger Wallace at (661) 257-4362, Sergeant Brian Lendman at (661) 257-0881 or go to http://www.operationdrywater.org.
