| - | =====SLO Job Description Summarized==== | + | =====Operation Safety First===== |
| - | Maintain a close relationship with the State's Boating Law Administrator (BLA) and his/her staff. The SLO should meet with the BLA at least semiannually, possibly in company with the Coast Guard District Recreational Boating Specialist (RBS Specialist) and DCO. More frequent contact may be necessary with the BLA staff members. The SLO should confer with the DSO-SL or DCOS/DCO, and RBS Specialist prior to each meeting with the BLA. | + | Operation Safety First is part of a motivational thrust to remind State Liaison Officers of what can be accomplished with a fresh read of the SLO Manual, particularly the sections on liaison duties and Boating Law Administrator relationships. These references go into detail about the process to follow in developing a regular productive relationship between the local Auxiliary and the state. In conjunction with the SLO Manual, some ideas are being presented to motivate the State Liaison Officer to nurture into a mature relationship with his/her local District and sate. It is being suggested to the liaisons that topics to discuss with the Law Administrator might include the following: |
