We ride in the most patrolled water in New York. We have Coast Guard, Buffalo Police, Tonawanda Police, Hamburg Police, New York State Park Police, US border Patrol, NYS DEC police, US Homeland Security, Erie County Sheriff and Niagara County Sheriff on our side. Now if you ride over to the other side of the Niagara River you are dealing with the Canadian Coast Guard, Ontario Police and the Canadian Border Patrol. So you better have everything. Yes, the joy of riding between 2 country's. Post 9/11
