I just had to chime in on this one. There has been a lot of talk about the MP misusing their resources (NRZ). Consider Officer safety for a minute... MP is a law enforcement agency (trained by the same police academy as every other cop in nh) they are not going to send one officer in to control a crowd of a couple hundred people. Ive been in braun bay when the MP come in and they receive quite the ear-full from people thinking they are being "harrassed". Cut them a break they are providing a service to everyone on the lake (property owners included) and are just looking out for your safety. And the reason that many of them seem so young is because the younger officers (aka college kids) are the ones who are going to be around for a couple of seasons, rather than getting picked up by another agency /full time job once they complete the police academy. There was an article a few months ago in Fosters that chronicled the MP and it seems that a lot of people just dont realize what these men/women do... all for less than $15/ hr mind you.
my two cents
