Congratulations to Officer Duncan Collins, Officer Josh Freeman, and all of the graduates of the 202nd NH Full-Time Police Academy class. They worked exceptionally hard in the academy and will be jumping straight into work in the community in the Patrol Division.

We also want to acknowledge and thank our very own Officer Jim DeLuca who once again stepped up and represented local law enforcement as cadre for this academy class. His knowledge in the field, mentorship, and desire to shape our next generation will continue to affect NH law enforcement for years to come.

Congratulations academy graduates!
