| Good
Morning Program |
| Seniors
living alone call the department each morning. If we haven't
heard from a participant by 10:00AM we check on their welfare.
It's reassuring to know that some one looks in on you every
once in a awhile. |
| Carpenter
School Crossing |
| At
the start and end of school each school day, an Officer serves
as crossing guard at the crosswalk in front of the school.
Even though our motorists are very watchful in the school
area, it does give us a chance to meet some of the school
children and their parents regularly. |
| Children's
Christmas Fund |
| Each
year we reach out to the community for the names of families
having some difficulties during the holiday season. From
donations of money, we shop for seasonal clothing for the
children of those families. The intent is to make sure every
child gets a visit from Santa at Christmas, and to make sure
they have warm clothing for the cold winter. |
| Law
Day |
| Each
year near the end of the elementary school year, we put on a
program at the elementary schools, showing some of the
different aspects of law enforcement. With the help of several
agencies, we show the children some of the many
"flavors" of law enforcement. From the water craft
of the Marine Patrol, to the woods lore of the Game Wardens,
and the street knowledge of the beat cop, we show the children
a few of the interesting and challenging aspects of law
enforcement. I don't know if we've created any policemen from
the audience, but I know we've made some friends. |
| Station
Tours |
| Small
groups are welcome at the public safety building. The
police side of the house is rather small but the
equipment in Central Dispatch is current and our police
cruisers have state of the art electronics. |
| Speaking
Bureau |
| Our
officers have specialized training in a variety of subjects.
We will gladly talk to any group, large or small.
Personal safety, crime prevention, identity theft, substance
abuse and consumer fraud are some of the most requested
topics. |
| School
Reading Program |
| Officers
and/or Emergency Dispatchers are available to do reading
programs using coloring books for the children. The topics may
include using 911 for emergencies, bicycle safety or
"Officer Friendly". |
| Internships |
| College
students (and in some cases, high school seniors) may apply
for internships. Those with an interest in the criminal
justice field receive practical exposure to this challenging
profession while fulfilling course requirements. |
| School
Resource Officer |
| The
Wolfeboro Police Department in a partnership with the GWRS
District has an officer working with the Kingswood Regional
High School and also assisting in the Middle School system.
The SRO works with students, parents, teachers and school
administrators as a problem solver and mentor. The officer
works an unscheduled work week and is available to assist in
problems that may arise, support teaching efforts, work with
students in sports and recreational events and to work as a
liaison between the police and educators. |
| Vacant
Home Checks |
| The police department will check
the exterior of your property when you are away, if you wish.
Call Dispatch for further information.

| Mountain
Bike Patrols |
| This
form of patrol allows officers to interact at a more personal
level with people. It provides a concentrated police
presence in specific areas and also has the added value of a
"wellness program". |
