Today, we recognize and celebrate the retirement of Captain Eric Marquis after more than 30 years in law enforcement, 25 ½ years of those years in dedicated service to the Town of Merrimack and the Merrimack Police Department.

Captain Marquis began his career as a Special Officer in 1998 before being hired full-time in 2000. Throughout his distinguished career, he served in numerous roles including Detective, Sergeant, Lieutenant, and Administrative Captain. He also served as a Field Training Officer and fi****ms instructor, helping shape and mentor countless officers over the years.

As Administrative Captain, Eric oversaw recruitment, training, testing, and grants, always approaching every challenge with professionalism, dedication, and leadership.

Captain Marquis leaves behind a legacy of service, leadership, mentorship, and friendship that will have a lasting impact on this department and the community he proudly served.

Please join us in congratulating Captain Eric Marquis on an outstanding career and wishing him all the best in his well-earned retirement.

Thank you for your service, Captain Marquis!

Another successful Mock Crash performed today, this time it involved distracted driving instead of the usual driving under the influence scenario. This crash into a telephone pole was caused by the driver's inattention while being on their cell phone. Never text or talk on the phone while driving AND be a good passenger, speak out if the driver is distracted. Fantastic job by all involved!
