Boating Under the Influence

Statistics continue to indicate that alcohol use is the leading known contributing factor in fatal recreational boating accidents. This article focuses on meeting enforcement challenges with partnership, equipment, and training innovations. The United States (U.S.) Coast Guard continues to improve enforcement efforts in the area of training. Boating under the influence (BUI) training opportunities, including drug recognition expert and advanced roadside impaired driving enforcement programs, provide standard training for law enforcement officers from around the country. This training is critical and results in all trained officers conducting the same, consistent BUI law enforcement techniques throughout the nation.
