Labor Day is another summer holiday when many people hit the lakes and rivers. As the holiday marks the unofficial end to summer, the lake patrol division of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office is out keeping an eye on boaters, paddlers and swimmers, hoping to avoid any other drownings and make sure people are being safe.Deputy Rob Marske tells ABC15 they look for any traffic pattern violations for boaters and make sure people follow state laws.
Deputy Marske has been with the sheriff’s office lake patrol division for 16 years now and he’s seen quite a lot. He’s done quite a few rescues, too. “Fingers crossed, we don't want to see any more drownings,” said Sgt. Joaquin Enriquez with MCSO. “That's why it's so important people wear their life jackets, they have a plan and they are safe when they are out here when they're boating.”
