🇺🇸🎄 Holiday Cards for Our Military! 🎄🇺🇸

The Goffstown Police Department is excited to announce that we will be coordinating Holiday Cards for Our Military!

This program will not replace our beloved holiday card program for seniors in town—we know how much our community enjoys participating in that tradition. Instead, this is an extension of our program and an opportunity to spread gratitude, support, and appreciation to our deployed U.S. troops.

Let’s come together as a community to share positive thoughts, words of encouragement, and a little holiday cheer with our service members who are away from their loved ones during the holiday season. ❤️🇺🇸

Card Drop-Off:
A collection box will be available in the Goffstown Police Department lobby through November 5th. This will allow us enough time to review the cards and have them shipped around the world before the holiday season.

Please see the attached rules and guidelines. Every card will be reviewed to ensure that it is respectful and appropriate before being sent.

Cards do NOT need to be purchased! Homemade cards are absolutely welcome. If you’d rather make a card yourself, we encourage you to get creative and make something special.

Let’s show our troops that Goffstown is thinking of them and grateful for their service and sacrifice. 🇺🇸❤️

Thank you for helping us spread a little holiday cheer around the world. If you have any questions please contact Sgt Jacqueline Pelletier at 603-497-4858 or [email protected]. You can also visit www.militaryholidaycardchallenge.com for additional resources or ideas.

🚨With school starting up next week, let's talk School Zones 🚨

Town Ordinance 201.3.8 identifies the location of our two marked school zones in town.
- Maple Ave School Zone: Elm Street from PSNH Substation to 3 Elm St.
- Bartlett School Zone: Mast Road from intersection of Roosevelt St to Eden Street.

NH RSA 265:60 Basic Rule and Maximum Limits- states:

"In a posted school zone, at a speed of 10 miles per hour below the usual posted limit from 45 minutes prior to each school opening until each school opening and from each school closing until 45 minutes after each school closing."

What this means:
✅If the school zone lights are flashing, the speed limit is 20mph throughout the ENTIRETY of the school zone.

What this does not mean:
❎Increase your speed once you have passed the crossing guard.
❎Increase your speed because you have been waiting on Maple Ave too long and are frustrated.
❎Increase your speed because you do not see children around or the crossing guard is not there.

Fines for speed in NH start at $62 and increase every 5mph you are over!

Last week, Chief Sereno and Accreditation Manager Michelle Provencher attended the CALEA conference in Omaha, NE where the Goffstown Police Department received its 11th CALEA accreditation award!
There are less than 25 CALEA certified agencies in New Hampshire and GPD is proud to say that we have been one of those departments since 1992.
A huge thank you and congratulations to Michelle for completing her 20th year as Accreditation Manager. Your commitment and dedication to this department is unmatched and we are so thankful to have you as a leader on our team.
