Other Lake/River Boat Patrols

The RRSP is not the only law enforcement agency on Lake Koshkonong and the Rock River. The DNR, Rock County and Jefferson Counties also provide Boat Patrol Services. In the past several years the amount of patrolling done by Rock and Jefferson Counties has been very limited. The DNR provides services to many other lakes and rivers so their patrol activity is also limited.

The Rock River Safety Patrol operates 2 boats on the Rock River and Lake Koshkonong mostly on weekends. There has been a demand for the RRSP to be patrolling on more days and evenings. Unfortunately the RRSP, like other government agencies, has fallen victim to tight budget constraints.

If you have questions or comments regarding the RRSP you can contact Captain Henry Sautin by e-mail at rrsp748@yahoo.com

In the event of any water related emergency dial 911.
