It's the Law: Before Going Out on Your Vessel

Enforcement

The boating laws of Oklahoma are enforced by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, Lake Patrol Section troopers, U.S. Coast Guard officers, and any other authorized law enforcement officers. Officers have the legal authority to stop and board your vessel in order to check that you are complying with state and federal laws.

Courtesy Inspection

Troop W Troopers offer inspections free of charge! Have your vessel examined for the required safety equipment, current registration, and proper display of numbers and decals. An inspection before you launch will help ensure your family's safety and reduce the chance of a costly fine for violations. If you pass an inspection, you will be issued a safety inspection sticker to proudly display on your vessel.
