Missouri State Highway Patrol
News Release
EMPHASIS: Patrol
To Begin Annual Buoy Audit May 1
Colonel Sandra K. Karsten, superintendent of the Missouri State
Highway Patrol, would like to make the public aware of the
following:
The Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Water Patrol Division will
be conducting their annual buoy audit beginning May 1, 2018. The
division manages thousands of buoy permits, which must be
maintained by the individual permit holders.
The annual audit involves verifying the permit holder still owns
the property associated with the permit, ensuring the buoy is
placed properly, and confirming the buoy displays the correct
markings. Additionally, the buoy must be well maintained and the
markings must be visible to boaters. Buoy permits are required
to be placed by April 1 each year, unless otherwise specified in
the permit. Buoys which are not in compliance with the permit
requirements are subject to revocation.
The cooperation of buoy permit holders in maintaining
navigational buoy markers on our waterways is appreciated. Any
questions regarding the buoy audit or individual buoy permits
may be directed to the Water Patrol Division at 573-751-5071, or
by email at Buoys@mshp.dps.mo.gov.
Watercraft operators must consider the effect their actions have
on others: Share the waterway and use common sense, good
judgment, and courtesy to ensure the safety of all. Life jackets
save lives. Wear It!!
