I've never seen any gangs on the river, and the last time I checked the police use a boat that is not amphibious- so they can't really go patrolling the streets in a power boat.
Yes, that last bit was a little sarcastic, but the job of the police is to protect the public. And it seems to me we lose about as many people on our rivers each year as we do with gang violence.

Ya actually I can picture it now: A high-speed drunk rafting accident- Paralyzes all passengers for life and the Man at the helm of the paddle had been drinking! Gimme a break.
And as Burninator said- they can't even use a power boat in the elbow-it's too shallow. And what I was implying is that perhaps their time would be better spent on more serious issues (not the elbow river...once again I said I was in favour of patrolling the bow).
And as far as people drowing being comparable to gang violence- NO ONE DROWNS ON THE ELBOW!! I said I was in favour of life jackets on the bow. But the elbow is ridiculous.
