I'm all for safety but these "professionals" need to be allocating their already scarce resources better and that is a management issue.

I agree with Skidad.

First, the seasonal MP officiers are paid less than $15 an hour according to their website, so who are they going to get? Professionals or rent-a-cops and high school grads out of work? Sure, they may be "trained" but to what extent?

Second, Snowbird points out that his wife was snorkling within 50 feet of his/her dock! Where on the lake is a private dock considered a "normally traveled navigable area?

Again I cry out for media in the Lakes Region to begin publishing the Marine Patrol Log. I find it harder and harder to call for increased funding for these folks when it appears they spend their time at No Rafting Zones and bothering people within 50 feet of their property.

Is that an anomoly or is it routine? We won't know unless Media keeps track of what they are doing and reports it!
