POLICE DEPARTMENT
2010 saw some major changes for the Jackson Police Department, although, activities continued to run smoothly.
In the past year, the townspeople graciously voted to expand the Police Department by one police officer to make us a three man Police Department with a part-time officer. Doug Jette is the new police officer that was hired in March. Previously, he was part-time with us. Officer Jette went to the 14 week Police Academy and obtained his N.H. certification. In December, Officer Jette successfully completed a two week Prosecutor’s school at the Police Academy. He will now prosecute our court cases. This is important since we usually deal with trained and experienced lawyers.
In September Corporal Sean Cowland was promoted to Sergeant. Sean has been with us for 6 years now and continues to turn in excellent work. Sean is also a certified firearms instructor.
Often, as the economy slows, crime picks up. Surrounding towns have felt this effect. We have too, but to a lesser extent. This may be due to having a police presence out until midnight five days a week, since the addition of the third officer.
Please remember to have your dog licensed with the town. Last year we were able to return a number of wayward dogs to their homes by matching dog tags with the town’s register of dogs. Unfortunately there were others taken to the Humane Society, since we did not know to whom they belonged.
The Police Department realizes that if not for the support of our citizens, we could not be as efficient as we are. We greatly appreciate the reporting of suspicious people or activities to us. We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to stop in the Police Department and get to know us.
Respectfully submitted,
Chief Karl F. Meyers (7 yrs. at J.P.D)
Sgt. Sean Cowland (6 yrs. at J.P.D)
Officer Doug Jette (3 yrs. at J.P.D)
Part-time Officer Sol Rosman (7 yrs. at J.P.D)
