In order to make first responders more aware of the dangers of cold water, the state boating program at the Idaho Department of Parks & Recreation has developed a four-hour training course. What started as informal block training for a local sheriff’s department has evolved into a formalized course that has been approved by Idaho POST. Idaho BLA Dave Dahms will discuss the origination and evolution of this training course over the past two years and how this important information has been integrated into the department’s public boat safety program.
