That doesn't count anybody who got the certification from some other state, does it? Look at how many disregard the 150' boat to boat safe passage.

You're right, there's a mix. The Lake Hosts are joint project between NHLakes and DES. Some paid, some volunteers. As far back as the mid 60's the Town of Gilford PD had an officer on duty (Bert...
