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. Vacant Home Checks |
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". |
