The Tavares Police Department provides marine patrol to areas of Lake Dora, Lake Eustis, Dora Canal and adjacent waterways to the City limits. The TPD Marine patrol works close with the Lake County Sheriff's Office, FWC and the Coast Guard Auxillary.
The marine patrol is in operation at all events and festivities occuring around our waterways.
Besides enforcing boating regulations, the patrol teaches boating safety, provides boat inspections, responds to distress calls and clears navigational waterways of debris, assisting fire/EMS, among other duties.
The boat is a 17' Wellcraft, and is located on the water at all times, ready to go in just minutes.
