EXHIBIT D
NOTES AND DEFINITIONS
Washington STATE PARKS' Marine Law Enforcement Training Program is accredited through
the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators Boat Operation and Training
(BOAT) Program. As a term of accreditation, STATE PARKS must ensure that all active marine
officers and deputies maintain proficiency in basic recreational boating safety skills. This is
important because these skills are perishable but critical to operate in a marine environment.
STATE PARKS recognizes that there are many different circumstances that could prevent
training frorn being completed (wildfires, maintenance issues, staffing shortfalls, etc.), Each
circumstance will be evaluated on its own merits.
Approved Program: A marine law enforcement program that has signed an Approved Program
Agreement with Washington State Parks and is in good standing.
Boating Safety Patrol; The total number of hours that all agency vessels patrolled on the
water. These are the actual hours as documented on the patrolvessel hour meter or logbook,
Note that this is different than officer on-water patrol hours. lf two officers are patrolling on a
single vesselfor eight hours, you would report eight boating safety patrol hours and 16 officer
on-water patrol hours. The patrol hours do not include transit time io the body of water to be
patrolled.
lnstructor Qualifiecl Certified Boating Education lnstructors: Any officerldeputy designated
as Certified Boating Education lnstructors must be listed as lnstructor Qualified forthe
Adventures in Boating course by the State Parks Education and Outreach Program Manager.
STATE PARKS considers education and outreach activities a key component of preventing
boating injuries and fatalities. Classroom instruction, school presentations, and participation in
Community Events, along with Dealer and Rental site visits, and effective use of media are
crucialto preventing boating accidents and fatalities.
Local Spending: These are funds appropriated by the city or county government used for
boating safety programs. Local funds cannot include state or federal grant dollars,
Peak Boating Hours: STATE PARKS defines peak boating hours as four hours on Friday
afternoon/evening and B hours Saturday and Sunday for weekends from Memorial Day to Labor
Day, which equals approximately 332 hours per boating season. STATE PARKS also
recognizes that AGENCY may be impacted by nontraditional Peak Boating seasons due to
hunting and fishing activities. STATE PARKS maintains this patrol hour goal to ensure local
agencies are focused on injury prevention activities. While many agencies patrol many more
Updaied 1012012023 Page 14 of 24
hours than 332 and many agencies patrol less than 332 hours, the goal to achieve these patrolhours remains the same. While the patrol hour goal is 332 hours, STATE PARKS has collecteddata for patrol hours performed by all participating agencies over a period of years and hasestablished the averag_e boat log hours for agencies based on jurisdiciion population sizeaccording to the U.S. Census. Patrol hours are considered a critical metric. lt is used by STATEPARKS to determine if an agency is complying wiih the minimum requirements. Failingtoachieve the minimum number of hours of patrol (based on size) could be a factor in dJterminingineligibility for vessel registration fees.
RBS Activities:AGENCY is required to report all RBS activities to STATE PARKS on theSummary of Activity Report (SOAR) web form, RBS Activiiies include, but are not limited to,
enforcement activities, outreach and education, and administrative support.
Trained: Commissioned officer/deputy trained by the CJTC or equivalent who has attended the
Basic Marine Law Enforcement Course or STATE PARKS approved equivalent and has
maintained currency requirements documented on the BOAT Currency Web Form. AGENCy
must have a trained officer/deputy aboard a vessel in order to use vessel registration fees topay either the trained officer or untrained officers/deputies.
Web'enabled Forms: These are forms located on the website http://mle.parks.wa.qov/ that are
the official documents used by STATE PARKS in the administration of stite vesset r"gfstration
fees and federal financial assistance grants. These forms replace paper versions used prior to
CY 2018 and must be used as a condition of ongoing eligibility to receive state vessel
registration fees.
NOTE: Use of SECTOR is mandatorv during all operatinq hours.
