Enhancing Water Safety Measures for 4th of July Celebrations

The Oakland County Sheriff's Department has increased patrols on Oakland County lakes, particularly Cass Lake in Keego Harbor, ahead of the 4th of July holiday. Last year, a small group of boaters engaged in obnoxious and disruptive behavior, prompting residents to demand action. The sheriff's department is now providing a dedicated marine patrol to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for families. The focus is on education and promoting respectful behavior, but drunk boating will result in tickets.
