I do not know how the Marine Police operate, but I assume having more Strategically placed Marine Police on the SHORE would help as much, if not more than having more on the water. Of course, having more police boats on the water, with less coverage area may also be of assistance...
Has anyone heard of the Marine Police complaining that they don't have sufficient resources to do their job? Or are we just collectively assuming that they are understaffed? They get assistance on the 3 busiest weekends of the year from surrounding Sherrifs departments and game wardens...
How would you propose that your money is spent, more boats and more fuel, or more officers? What would you propose be enforced that isn't enforced now? What safety issues would you like to see addressed?
Myself, I would like to think that the area had a search and rescue team (even if volunteer). I do not think that there is one, and if so it isn't funded. I know some people who would be interrested in volunteering, if the training, and resources were funded (diving/search equipment is not cheap). At least one drowning death last year could possibly have been avoided if proper resources and equipment was "staged" in various locations on the lake.
Perhaps the HOBOs could address some concerns with the commander of the Marine Police, see if funding shortfalls, or other resource issues could be assisted with, and collectively identify how to assist.
