I don't believe this is the proper channel to obtain this service (pun not intended). Various groups do offer VSC and anounce it in the papers and forums like this but if you don't want to wait I think you should just call NHMP and ask if you can bring your boat in for a safety check.
If you have any serious doubts about your boat I would suggest trailerring it to the inspection so you don't get cited for in-adequacies after pulling away from the dock. NHMP officers sometimes circulate at public docks and offer safety checks there. A few people have claimed these officers call in deficiencies to patrol boats off-shore and the affected skippers then get cited. I have no idea if this really happens. I would just avoid the risk.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
