The Hancock Police Department is currently seeking applicants for full-time patrol positions. Hancock (pop. 1654) is one of the most beautiful historic towns in New England. We are located in the Monadnock region convenient to Manchester, Concord and Keene. There are many outdoor attractions including lakes and ponds that are great for boating or fishing. The Town of Hancock boasts a conservation and education center, a campground, and many seasonal events that bring our citizens and officers together as a community. We offer a small, friendly, and challenging work environment.
Successful candidates will provide general public safety, enforce traffic and criminal law, conduct criminal and accident investigations, and participate in community policing activities.
Candidates must possess strong problem-solving skills and be motivated to be a part of a community inspired department. Candidates must have a high school diploma or GED equivalent, be 18 years of age, hold a valid driver’s license, and be able to pass an extensive background check.

Candidates must be willing to work evenings, weekends, and holidays. Reasonable traveling distance from a candidate’s residence to the Town of Hancock is required for emergency response. Out of state applicants, who are willing to relocate to the Monadnock region of New Hampshire, would be afforded the opportunity to work in a quintessential New England community ideal for raising a family.
