Once upon a time there were a group of volunteers that helps the marine patrol. The auxillary was responsible for dock side inspections and safety courses. They also provide emergency coverage in case of a paddle boat flip over or the like. This was an excellent idea that should be reinstated.

At one time, cadets from the police academy will spend a few hours getting their feet wet (literally) in the field doing patrol work. According to Skip, it is not true anymore. I think this is another great idea. The cadets should be partnered with an experienced officer.

I think the marine patrol should spend time going after the actual lawbreakers rather than responding to every landowners hearsay about this guy is speeding and that guy is rafting.
