Alabama Marine Police Division | Personal Watercraft Insurance
The Marine Police Division’s mission is to enhance safety and promote responsible use of resources on Alabama’s waterways though enforcement, education and community activities.
With Alabama’s favorable weather conditions and abundant waterways, boating is a popular activity across the state. Over one million boaters enjoy Alabama’s one million acres of lakes, 1,600 miles of rivers and 53 miles of coastline each year.
The Alabama Marine Police Division patrols the public waterways, oversees the registration of all pleasure boats and the licensing of all boat operators, and operates a statewide education program. The AMP Division also administers the State’s regulatory waterway marking program, presently overseeing 1,518 hazard and control markers/zones. A Disaster Response Team that responds to emergency situations statewide and a Boat Theft Unit that investigates boat and marine accessory theft cases round out some of the services provided to Alabama’s boating community.
