Colebrook Police Department
Year Ending 2007
The season for Town Meeting is upon us yet again. The Sox have another World Series, the Celtics are good and the Pats are shocking the world with their play this season (oops I spoke too soon).
Well 2007 was a year of loss and gain for the Police Department. Officer Guthrie Peet left for employment with the US Border Patrol, Officer Tim Stevens with the NH State Police and Officer Shawn Thibeault to the Las Vegas Sheriff’s Department. We gained Officer Garth Hurlbert and Officer Corey Lord along with Prosecutor/Investigator Lt. Tom Yorke. Lt. Yorke brings his many years of experience with the State Police to the courtroom for the Police Department, this gives us some stability in the area of prosecution. It allows us to keep patrol officers on the road instead of in the department doing court paperwork. Lt. Yorke’s experience as an investigator is a great addition and he has reopened some old cases and obtained indictments at the superior court level.
During the year, the police department received a grant form the Department of Highway Safety for speed patrols. Patrols were conducted throughout the summer months in conjunction with area Police Departments and the State Police.
During the fall, we conducted active shooter training at the Colebrook Elementary School with the cooperation of the New Hampshire State Police SWAT Team. All local police departments were invited to participate. The Colebrook Academy Key Club took part in the training and did an excellent job.
The Police Department is looking for your assistance in combating any criminal activity. If you have any information on drug, activities please call 1-800-NAB-DOPE (800-622-3673). Please call 237-9912, Ext. 19 and ask for voice mail if you have information regarding any crime. Any information left on these telephone numbers will remain anonymous.
Respectfully Submitted,
Stephen R. Cass
Chief of Police
