DCSO offers free boat inspections for all
The Deschutes County Sheriff's Office offered boaters to have their boat inspected for free on Saturday at three locations around the county, but they also offer them year-round.
They were offered Saturday Big County RV in Redmond, Sportsman's Warehouse in Bend and the sheriff's office substation in La Pine.
The most common issues marine deputies say they find are old or outdated life jackets and fire extinguishers that aren't up to date.
After the check a safety sticker is given to affix to the boat, letting others know you got the all-clear.
