I agree!
BTW everyone thinks they're underpaid and overworked. This is simple supply and demand. If no one would take the jobs as offered, then the MP would have to raise the pay.
It seems like the MP has a core group of permanent employees and a lot of "summer help". It the summer help that we're talking about, right? There are serious MP functions like accidents, rescues, etc but there's also some functions that just require eyes and ears. Just posting a MP in a boat near the Weirs channel has a huge positive effect. That MP doesn't need to be Dirty Harry. If things get out hand, just pick up the radio. If anything I'd suggest more patrols rather than more expensive patrols. Did you ever notice how everyone is more careful about their drinking when the MP is hanging out near the sandbar?
