Richland County Sheriff's Department held a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Marine Patrol Task Force Headquarters located at Lighthouse Marina on 12 April. The  Department of Natural Resources has teamed up with RCSD to make Lake Murray a safer place to boat. Along with the announcement came a special donation from D.A.R.E. The organization presented a 28-foot boat sporting its logo to patrol Lake Murray. The boat, which is anticipated to provide quick response to boaters who may be in danger on the lake and need help in a hurry, also will be used for school visits and community events.

Shown in the photos with Sheriff Leon Lott are members of DNR and a second grade class from Lake Murray Elementary displaying their PFDs. Almost the entire facility was built from donations. Lexington-Richland 5 donated the building, Agnew put on the porch, Home Depot donated building materials and many more donations made it possible in these economics times to make Lake Murray a safer place to boat. Lake Murray Power Squadron donated tables for use in the headquarters.
