Officer Pelletier could not contain his excitement for his first day of school! He couldn’t be happier to start his first year as the School Resource Officer in the Bow School District.

As students return to campus, our School Resource Officer is ready to welcome them back and help keep our schools safe.

Wishing all students, teachers, and staff a safe and successful school year!

E-Bike Safety!

While e-bikes are a convenient and popular way to get around, their higher speeds bring serious safety risks if operated recklessly or without proper equipment. Under New Hampshire law, e-bike riders are required to follow all the same rules of the road as traditional bicycles. To keep our children safe, this means they must obey stop signs and traffic signals, yield the right-of-way, use hand signals when turning, and always ride with the flow of traffic and not against it.

Protecting our young riders and pedestrians requires active parental involvement. We strongly urge parents to verify their child's e-bike class rating (Class 1 and 2 assist up to 20 mph; Class 3 assists up to 28 mph and requires operators to be at least 16 years old). Be extremely cautious of aftermarket speed modifications, throttle conversions, or "off-road mode" unlocks, these modifications make bikes illegally fast, unpredictable, and significantly increase the severity of potential crashes.

Routine maintenance is equally vital for severe crash prevention. Parents should regularly inspect brakes, tires, lights, and helmet fit (state law mandates helmets for riders 16 and under on Class 1/2, and 18 and under on Class 3). Additionally, monitor lithium-ion batteries closely and discontinue use immediately if you notice swelling, leaks, severe heat, or physical damage.

We ask every parent to sit down with their child to review safe riding routes, neighborhood speed limits, pedestrian rights-of-way, and the non-negotiable rule of wearing a helmet on every single ride.

Ride smart, wear a helmet, and stay safe.

If you have questions regarding e-bike laws, speed classes, or local road regulations, please contact the Bow Police Department at (603) 228-0511.

Lt. Pratte and Sgt. Welch were proud to attend the Manchester Transit Authority's press conference at Bow High School, highlighting the important message that student safety is everyone’s responsibility.

The Bow Police Department remains deeply committed to working with our schools, families, transportation partners, and community members to help ensure the safety of our students each and every day.

One of the most important ways drivers can help is by stopping for school bus red flashing lights. When those lights are flashing, students may be entering or exiting the bus. Please stop, remain stopped, and never attempt to pass a school bus displaying its red warning lights.

A few extra seconds can make all the difference. Let’s work together to keep our students safe.

Slow down. Stay alert. Stop for the red flashing lights.

Thank you to Bow Parks & Recreation for inviting Officer Guilmette and K-9 Hunter to spend the morning with the kids!

K-9 Hunter was thrilled to meet everyone and show off some of his skills. The kids also had the chance to check out the inside of a police cruiser and flip on the blue lights and siren.

When asked who wanted to be a police officer when they grow up, there were hands flying into the air! It looks like we've got a great group of future recruits in the making. We'll keep an eye out for those applications...in about 15 years!
