Message from the Chief

The Hooksett Police Department continued to grow and evolve over the past year with the addition of one new police officer, one new dispatcher and internal movement of positions. These employees are now fully integrated into our team and committed to protecting and serving the people of Hooksett. As your Chief of Police, I remain focused on providing professional, responsive, and high-quality public safety services so that everyone in our town feels safe and supported.

On the transparency front, I’m proud to share that we secured funding, thanks to your votes for a department-wide body camera program. Implementation started in December of 2024, and they have already had a noticeable impact on interactions with the public. 

Additionally, the department has continued to attain New Hampshire Law Enforcement Accreditation. This important step will involve a thorough review of our operations to ensure we are continually meeting best practices and adapting to the evolving standards of modern policing.

I remain committed to leading this department with integrity, professionalism, and a strong focus on community-oriented policing. Our success depends on the partnership we have with you, the people we serve. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together and look forward to continuing to build a safer, stronger Hooksett for all.

Below is a breakdown of our calls for service this year:

Calls for service: 12,867                                                     MV Crashes: 621

False Alarms: 388                                                                Business Checks: 1528
