Hoyle proposes 24/7 coverage, which he said would cost less than what the county pays to have it part-time now. He said the town needs an always-on lake patrol.
“(The current lake patrol) leave at 8 p.m., but the bars are open until 2 a.m., and we get the 911 calls from people on boats, loud music on the water, fights, etcetera, and when we transfer to Charlotte, they don’t have a boat, so we’re left with a call we can’t answer,” Hoyle said.
They need something. I suggested a volunteer lake patrol like we had up North. I am not a partier on the lake, just like family swimming and not into the party crowd. There has been a significant increase in crime around the Marinas as well. I think they need much stricter laws on the water.
