You are correct,
wires1999 is wrong.
Within the Marine Patrol you have a mixture of part-time and full time certified officers, but all officers are certified through the New Hampshire Police Standards Training Council.
Part-time certified officers are limited to a maximum of 1300 hours of work annually. Full time officers obtain their certification by attending the full 12 week police academy at NHPSTC while part-time officers attend a 100 hour academy. The Marine Patrol, as do virtually every other law enforcement agency in the State, conduct additional in house mandatory training concentrating on specialties relevant to that particular agency.
As noted previously, the minimum age for a police officer in the State of New Hampshire is 18.
