RRSP Mission Statement

The Rock River Safety Patrols Mission

The mission of the RRSP is to promote boating safety by gaining compliance with the Boating Laws of the State of Wisconsin.

While sometimes issuing a citation is necessary it’s not the only tool the RRSP uses to gain compliance with the law. The RRSP does complementary boat inspections and answers the boater’s questions regarding boating equipment and safe boating operation. The most valuable tool of the RRSP is its mere presence. The presences of the patrol boat in itself helps remind boaters to obey the boating laws. The officers of the RRSP are also involved in teaching DNR Boating Safety Classes, another valuable tool in reducing injuries and fatalities on our waterways. The RRSP works closely with the DNR and our local DNR Wardens to promote water safety.
