The Boscawen Police Department is excited to reintroduce the "Good Morning Boscawen" program to the residents of Boscawen.

This program, which had been in effect for several years, is a free service that checks on citizens with health problems, the elderly, and those with disabilities who live alone.

Enrollment in the program requires completion of a brief agreement that the person filling out the application will contact the police department at (603) 753-9123, Sunday through Saturday from 8:00 - 10:00am. The person calling will simply need to state that they are checking in for the "Good Morning Boscawen" program.

If for some reason the police department does not have contact with the enrolled person by 10:00am, an officer will be dispatched to the residence to check the safety and welfare of the person. In most cases, there is no problem, the participant just forgot to call. However, occasionally the person might need some type of assistance in which case the officer may make entry into the residence. Each person enrolled in the program will be required to supply the police department with the location of a spare key for access to the residence in case of emergency.

We hope this program can provide some comfort to not only the enrollees but also their friends and family.

For more information about the program, or to join the program, please call the Boscawen Police Department at (603) 753-9124, extension 2201 to speak with Lynne Hummel.
