There was an article in the BI Times last summer about a big bash on the beach near the end of Cresent Beach by the Surf Hotel. It was one of those things where the word went out about it and the boats were loaded with people coming over for it - a lot already drunk getting off the boat. It got to be so big the police were overwhelmed. The cops interviewed said it's tough for them because they can't call in help from other towns when things get crazy like that. #^&#^&#^&#^& maybe you read that?
Islander, how many police officers do they have out there in the summer these days? Back in the day they had maybe 5 in the summer - 2 staties and 3 locals including the chief. Now they have something like what, 15? And they need more.
