I can recall seeing the MP off to one side, sitting in one spot, in their
www.protectorboats.com patrol boat observing Buoy-3, south Bear Island passage traffic in August 2008.
The geography of that passage pretty much requires boats to slow down, plus the protector patrol boats are easy to id from a distance as the MP. Whether marked or unmarked, their silhouette is unique on the lake. Believe the MP has three protectors; two marked and one unmarked, all 28' aluminum center consoles w/ twin Merc 150's two-strokes w/ rubber-kevlar, air-filled floatation bumpers surrounding the hull and tee-tops........a police boat.
