You'll know the training when you see it, it will be the group of kids being dropped off & picked up by their parents at the docks. They are too young to drive but the NH MP has no trouble giving them a few hours of training and then sending them out in a boat to make out water-ways "safer".

False statement

The good ones out there I can count on one hand an have a finger or two left over.

Inflammatory statement with no facts to base claim

I could sit here and spout off about my experiences with the MP, and say what you want, if I had one encounter on tape - Mr. MP would have been out of a job that day! Being about 30 at the time, I bit my tounge, took his crap for about 45 min. and parted ways. I contacted Mr. David Barrett over it all and he basically told me it was our word against the MP's and to hang it up and go home. Didn't even want to hear about it! Now, you tell me - professional organization, whatever!

Accusatory statement with no offer of proof

I just think it would (truly) be a better and safer lake if we had real experienced officers out there and not kids looking for a cushy job during summer break from college. There are one or two MP out there that really are good, the rest - heh - forget it!

Another statement not based on facts

Need I go on?
