According to Public Information officer Mike Meier, several youth took advantage on a nice sunny day to participate in the off-highway vehicle (OHV) certification course taught by Boundary County Sheriff’s Office on June 3.

They arrived with motorcycles, ATV and side by side OHVs to learn about safety when riding, appropriate equipment and riding skills to earn their Idaho Parks and Recreation off highway vehicle certification cards. Boundary County Sheriff Chief Deputy Rich Stephens was the lead contact for instructing this course and he was assisted by Cpl. Randall, Deputy Cobler, and Sheriff Kramer.

The Sheriff’s Office plans to offer this free training again this summer if there is enough interest. Kramer and Stephens feel that it is important to offer this training to our youth locally. To get your name on the list for the next available class contact the Boundary County Sheriff’s Office at 208-267-3151 and leave your name and telephone number for Chief Deputy Stephens. This is required training if you are not licensed and want to ride a motorbike, ATV or side by side on Forest Service roads or trails.
