SHERIFF ON THE RIVER
 Colorado River - The Mohave County Sheriff's Office is gearing up for what is anticipated as a busy holiday weekend. Numerous boaters are expected on Lake Havasu for Memorial Day; traditionally the busiest summer time holiday on Lake Havasu. In anticipation of the influx of boaters, MCSO personnel have been readying the fleet consisting of 10 boats that are permanently stationed on the river. Personnel are also drawing up their focus points for the weekend.
"We will be on the lookout for the standard infractions," said Sheriff Tom Sheahan. "We will be strictly enforcing the OUI (Operating Under the Influence) laws as well as looking for boaters operating their vessels recklessly," Sheriff Sheahan said. "We will also be patrolling Thompson Bay looking for people operating above a wakeless speed in the no wake zone. That is a big safety issue," Sheriff Sheahan said.
Another area of focus will be excessively noisy boats. "In addition to the safety regulations that we will be enforcing, we will also be on the lookout for these infractions. We hope all of the visitors to the Lake Havasu City have a great and safe holiday weekend. As always, safety is our number one goal," Sheriff Sheahan said.
