The main objective of the Niagara County Sheriff’s Marine Reserve is boater safety and education, and the enforcement of the New York State Navigation Laws. This includes teaching Boater Safety Certificate Courses and vessel inspections. In addition, the Marine Patrol provides search and rescue capabilities, accident investigation, regatta permit assistance, pollution control response and boating

manufacturer standards compliance. The Marine Patrol operates multiple patrol boats within the 540 square miles of Niagara County waters. This includes parts of the Erie Canal, Upper Niagara River, Lower Niagara River, and Lake Ontario. The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation reimburses up to 75% of the overall budget of the Marine Patrol. The funding comes directly from New York State boat registration fees. New York State Navigation Law currently requires any operator of a Personal Watercraft (PWC), regardless of age, to first complete an approved Boater Safety Course. The Niagara County Sheriff’s Marine Patrol conducts these courses throughout the year. To get information on upcoming courses, contact the Marine Patrol Division at (716)438-3346.

I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday season and that you are now looking forward to a successful 2020! First I wish former Sheriff James Voutour well in his new and exciting ventures.

As your Acting Sheriff, I want to assure each and every citizen of Niagara County that we will continue to provide the top notch service you expect of us. The men and women of the Sheriff's Office work diligently every day to keep you safe, and they are a very dedicated group of individuals.
