Perhaps it's different on the North Shore? I see the Brookhaven harbormaster patrolling every weekend that I'm out. Last weekend I saw the harbormaster, Suffolk Police Marine, and USCG in Port Jeff and Mount Sinai. Although this weekend I had a guest on the boat that's a Suffolk PD officer and he called over the Suffolk Marine "N" boat to chat when they passed through the mooring field. I learned that their patrol hours are limited by the available budget for fuel.
I don't mind seeing the patrols. Helps keep the knuckleheads and PWC operators in check.
You don’t see them all that much down here. Nassau PD doesn’t seem to have too many boats, the only time I’ve seen a Suffolk PD boat in the last few years was out at Fire Island, and the Bay Constables that the towns have down here seem to be all operating on pretty restrictive budgets.
If Andy boy is concerned about it he could send more State Park Police boats down to Long Island. I think the only time I’ve seen one of those is at the Jones Beach Air Show on Memorial Day weekends.
Maybe instead of giving away free stuff to illegal immigrants who work off the books and don’t pay taxes, or building billion dollar bridges to honor his father, he could send some grant money down to Long Island for enforcement on the water.
