This means that all of Michigan and a good portion of Florida fall within their jurisdiction. At its widest point, Michigan is 105 miles wide.

Yes 100 miles from any port,which covers pretty much all of Florida also.


But we do not mix fed and state because for instance,if the local PD pulls somebody over and they have a small amount of weed,they are not going to bother,but get a BP guy that is having a bad day they can charge with a federal crime.

The mixing really started after Katrina in New Orleans,get a bad guy and let BP be the primary and it moves to the federal level with more jail time.

We use state Fish and game wardens as back up if necessary.

Here BP does not really communicate with local PD,they just do their own thing.
