That's not egnough for a professional force. And who would want to work there . Why don't they use county sheriffs more in new hamp like othe states in the country and get a more professional group

I believe 4000+/- is the year round population, when including those who "go away for the winter" the population balloons dramatically. There are 4,900 housing units alone in town according to the Census. Even assuming a conservative 2 people per house that increases the seasonal population substantially. I know our camp, like many, rarely only has 2 people on any given weekend May-October.
Unfortunately, I think in a town where the population varies so substantially from one season to the next, you have to staff and plan for the max. When it comes to emergency services, I would certainly rather be over staffed than under staffed. Especially in a town with the tough geographical layout that Moultonboro has.
