Quite correct…now when you call Marine Patrol in Gilford you only get a live person Monday - Friday between 8:15 AM and 4:15 PM per their web site. After that you are redirected to the State Police who know nothing about the lake. They then determine who to direct you to be it local PD or fire department. Their web site also tells you to call 911 in all emergencies.
I went through all of this when I called as a matter of fact they weren’t sure which PD should handle the call Alton or Gilford so I was put on hold for like 5 minutes while they figured it out. I was then told they would call me back which they did another 5 minutes later! All of this happening while I’m thinking someone is in serious trouble out on the ice. You cant make this up it was a real sh*t show to say the least!!
