water patrol

With summer in full swing and the 4th of July holiday this week, many of us will look for some fun out on the lakes and rivers.

With summer in full swing, the Stearns County Sheriff’s Office Water Patrol is out making sure everyone is safe on the water. The water patrol enforces rules on the water and also educates the public on boat safety. Sergeant Kellan Hemmesch says they typically have eight people out on the water during the weekend and holidays.
