Colebrook Police Department
Year Ending 2008
Another year has passed, and with the New Year comes new hurdles. The Police Department is working with the Select Board to do everything possible to reduce spending without sacrificing service. We are going to reduce coverage to events in order to reduce overtime. We have reduced fuel spending along with man-hours in other areas. During these tough financial times, we are asking for your cooperation and your patience.
Corey Lord completed his Police Academy training last spring and currently Garth Hurlbert is attending the Police Academy. Officer Lord did not request reimbursement for mileage while attending the Academy and neither is Officer Hurlbert.
During 2008, we applied for several grants, which were awarded to the town. We received a grant for the purchase of bulletproof vests and a highway safety grant to purchase an in-car camera system for the new cruiser. The Police Department worked with the Coos County Sheriff’s Department in assisting the Colebrook Kiwanis Club with Child ID packets.
I am continuing to work with State agencies to improve the radio situation in our area through federal grants. It is something that needs improvement desperately.
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
