Alaska Department of Public Safety officers and all other peace officers enforce the boating laws of Alaska. USCG officers also patrol and have enforcement authority on federally controlled waters.

  • Officers have the authority to stop your vessel in order to check that you are complying with state and federal laws.
  • It is illegal to refuse to follow the directive of a person with law enforcement authority. An operator who has received a visual or audible signal from a law enforcement officer must bring his or her vessel to a stop.
