The
Sheriff's Marine Division patrols Lake St Clair,
which has been called the busiest fresh water
lake in the world, as well as it's connecting
waterways. In order to provide the necessary
patrol coverage on the water as well as teach
thousands of people "Boating Safety" the Marine
Reserve Unit was formed. This mission would not
be possible without the help of the men and
women of the Marine Safety Reserve Unit.
The Marine Reserve Officers go through an
academy to learn basic police procedures and
Macomb County Sheriff's protocols. They then
complete a State approved Boaters Safety class.
Additionally they are given hands on training in
the operation and handling of the many different
boats the Sheriff's Marine Division uses, fire
fighting and rescue equipment, navigation
training, radio procedures, as well as first
aid, CPR and AED training. |
