Message from the Chief

As another year comes to a close, I would like to thank the members of the Hooksett Police Department for their continued dedication and professionalism in serving our community. The men and women of this department work tirelessly every day to protect the residents and visitors of Hooksett, often under challenging circumstances. Their commitment to public service is a credit to our town and a source of pride for our department.

The Hooksett Police Department remains committed to providing high-quality law enforcement services while maintaining strong partnerships within the community. Community engagement continues to be a priority, and throughout the year our officers participated in numerous events and outreach programs that allowed us to build positive relationships with residents, businesses, and local organizations. These connections are essential to fostering trust and maintaining the safe and welcoming community that Hooksett residents expect and deserve.

Like many communities throughout New Hampshire and across the nation, we continue to face challenges related to substance abuse, mental health concerns, and increasing demands for service. Our officers remain proactive in addressing criminal activity while also working with community partners and available resources to connect individuals with assistance whenever possible.

This past year the department continued to invest in equipment, technology, and training to ensure our officers have the tools necessary to perform their duties safely and effectively. We remain focused on providing our personnel with the resources needed to meet the evolving demands of modern policing while maintaining transparency, accountability, and professionalism in all that we do.

I would also like to thank the residents of Hooksett for their continued support of the Police Department. Public safety is a shared responsibility, and the cooperation we receive from our community plays a significant role in our success. It is an honor to serve as your Chief of Police, and I remain committed to working alongside our officers, town officials, and residents to ensure Hooksett continues to be a safe and vibrant place to live, work, and raise a family.
