Life Jacket Program

The Sheriff’s Office has a life jacket lending program through Spokane Regional Health District that allows the lending of life jackets for a day or weekend. There is a wide range of sizes available from infant to 2X adult. These life jackets are inspected for safety and serviceability on a regular basis and replaced on an as-needed basis through the Health District. 

Be sure to take advantage of this free service the next time the grandchildren pop in for a fun day at the river boating, swimming, and water skiing. Drop by the Sheriff’s Office and check out your life jacket for water safety.
