The Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Water Patrol Division will be participating in Operation Dry Water this weekend. Operation Dry Water is a national campaign in which marine law enforcement officers across the country conduct special patrols during the last weekend in June, to detect and apprehend intoxicated boaters. Missouri boat operators found to have a blood alcohol content of .08% will be arrested for boating while intoxicated. Last year in Missouri, just over half of the fatal boating crashes had alcohol as a contributing factor.
