The Oregon State Marine Board honored marine law enforcement officers from around the state for their outstanding performance and contributions during the 2009 boating season at their annual post-season conference on October 13, in Bend.
Deputy Steve Fandry was recognized for his outstanding contributions over the years as a Marine Board Instructor.

Because of his expert boat handling skills, strong people skills, and his knowledge of marine law, Deputy Fandry is a favorite among new marine law enforcement personnel. “Deputy Fandry connects with students in a way that plays to both their strengths and weaknesses,” said Dale Flowers, Law Enforcement Coordinator for the Marine Board.
