2007 Police Department Report

Written by admin

Thursday, 07 February 2008

The Northwood Police Department report for 2007 includes statistics on calls for service, arrests, and motor vehicle infractions. Tow officers recieved promotions as well. Read on for details...

The Northwood Police Department was extremely busy this year, especially being shorthanded for half of the year after Officer Shane Wells was deployed to Iraq with the New Hampshire National Guard. This made covering shifts very difficult, having to utilize the part-time officers the best we could. Officer Kevin Sullivan, who works part-time for the department and full time for the New Hampshire Fish and Game, picked up several shifts a week helping cover many of the overnight shifts.

The Northwood Police Department answered 904 calls for service. The number of arrests increased by 58% in 2007. The department made 274 arrests, up from 173 in 2006. Arrests were made for Driving While Intoxicated, Domestic Violence, Burglary, Possession of a Controlled Drug, Transportation of a Controlled Drug, Assault, Criminal Threatening, and a variety of other charges. Northwood PD responded to 116 motor vehicle crashes. There were no fatal collisions in Northwood for 2007. There were 2,742 motor vehicle infractions resulting in 2,300 warnings and 442 summonses. The number of motor vehicle infractions was up from 1,904 in 2006.

The Northwood Police Department took part in state and federally funded patrol grants again in 2007. These extra patrols specifically target Driving While Intoxicated and speeding violators. The department will continue applying for these grants in 2008. The department also acquired funding through a grant from the New Hampshire Highway Safety Agency, to purchase two digital video systems to be installed in two of our cruisers.

There were two promotions in the department that will take effect January 01, 2008. Sgt. Glen Drolet will be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. Officer Christian Johnson will be promoted to the rank of Corporal. The Northwood Police Department was able to bring the DARE program back to the Northwood School after several years in 2007. The first year back was a huge success. Lt. Drolet will continue instructing the DARE program at the 5th grade level in 2008.

The Northwood Police Department would like to thank the Northwood Police Commission and the citizens of Northwood for their continued support.
