Welcome to the USCG 1st District, Southern Region Public Education Home Page. The information on these pages is intended for use by USCG Auxiliary Public Education Staff Officers and Instructors. If you are not a member and you are seeking general information about the Coast Guard Auxiliary or Public Education Course offerings in your area, please click on the following link: http://www.cgaux1sr.org/pub/welcomeP.html.

The primary goal of the Auxiliary PE Department is to help create, through education, a safe environment for the recreational boating public. To achieve this goal, our Instructors must bring the most accurate, up-to-date and authoritative information available on boating, into our classrooms and to our students. To make that possible, our PE Staff Officers, on every level, must make certain that our Instructors receive timely information on the latest programs and training aids that are available to facilitate their doing their jobs. Finally, it is my job to assure that all PE Staff Officers receive the latest information affecting our programs as quickly as possible and to provide a resource for resolving questions and concerns in a timely fashion.

Check this site often for the latest information, forms and programs affecting the PE department. Pass any questions and concerns you have about public education, up through the staff chain of leadership and management, i.e., from FSO-PE to SO-PE to ADSO-PE to me. It’s the fastest way to get matters resolved as accurately and expeditiously as possible.

Thank you ALL for your dedication and contributions to recreational boating safety. Your efforts are much appreciated.

Best regards,
