And the MP have jurisdiction of over 600 bodies of water and rivers. They have at the most less than 100 officers working on a given day. If the oficers patrol in pairs than there is less than 50 boats. If there is one boat in 50 waterways, NH has only 8% coverage. This is even less if 15 of the 50 boats are in Winnipesaukee! I think this is a serious discrepancy.
