Chief's Corner:

August 14, 2010

Now as the summer comes to a close and we prepare to send our children back to school, I hope that everyone has had an enjoyable summer. The department has had a steady summer with calls; and now that we are back up to a full staff, I hope to have a proactive patrol.

I would like to congratulate Anthony Swett on his achievement at the NH Police Academy and welcome his return. I’m sure it has been a long 14 weeks for him, and I am also sure that he too is glad to be back on patrol.

I wanted to also thank the Blow-Me-Down Grange for having me attend their meeting on Friday the 13th. I enjoyed our talks on crime prevention, Sylvia Gray, other concerns that affect the residents of Plainfield and the Department.

Finally, I would like to remind everyone that as school starts, commuting time will increase because of the school-bus stops. In addition, pedestrian traffic will increase; and I remind all of you to be careful in your travels.

I will soon schedule an open house at the Department for all residents to come and meet your police staff and ask any questions you may have.

Paul M. Roberts
Chief

Thank You, Chief Gillens!

On June 5, 2010, Plainfield residents came out to thank Gordon Gillens for serving as Chief for 25 years and to celebrate his retirement after a job well done. Look at the pictures; they tell the story!

Unsolved Crimes:

Sylvia Gray was murdered in 1982. The Plainfield Police Department is working with New Hampshire's multi-agency cold case unit as we conduct interviews up and down the east coast.
