It's hard to believe another school year is here! As students head back to the classroom, we want to wish all of our students, teachers, staff, and families a safe, successful, and exciting school year!

With school back in session, we also want to remind everyone that safety is a team effort.

🚌 School Bus Safety
- Slow down and stay alert around school buses and bus stops.
- Stop when a school bus has its red lights activated - no exceptions.
- Children should stay a safe distance from the roadway while waiting for the bus.
- Look both ways before crossing and follow the bus driver's instructions.

🚗 Driver Safety
- Expect extra traffic, pedestrians, bicycles, and school buses.
- Obey posted speed limits and use extra caution in school zones.
- Put the phone down. Seriously. It can wait.
- Give yourself extra time and please remember that getting there 30 seconds faster isn't worth putting someone at risk.

Let’s all do our part to make sure our students get to school safely and make it home safely every day.
From all of us at the New Boston Police Department, have a fantastic school year!

Happy National Dog Day to our OG K9, Eclipse! 🐾🚔

Eclipse has been with New Boston PD since 2023 and has held a special place in our hearts ever since. We are proud to have a strong partnership with New Boston Space Force Station which granted us the opportunity to bring K9 Eclipse on as a part of our team. K9 Eclipse is specially trained in munitions detection and has completed several different certifications making him an asset to NBPD. We can't forget to mention his incredibly goofy personality and his love for working.

On National Dog Day, we celebrate all pups so give your furry friends some extra scratches and treats today!

We’re excited to share that our School Supplies Drive was a success! Thanks to the incredible generosity of our New Boston community, we were able to collect supplies and deliver them to New Boston Central School just in time for the Meet the Teacher event for the upcoming school year.

If your student could use a few additional school supplies, the supplies are available for families to pick up at NBCS. Whether you forgot an item, need a few extras, or could simply use a little help getting ready for the school year, please don’t hesitate to take what you need.

These supplies will help make sure students have the tools they need to start the school year ready to learn—and we couldn’t have done it without everyone who donated!

A special thank you to New Boston Recreation for serving as a second drop-off location and helping us collect an incredible assortment of school supplies and backpacks! Your support made a huge difference, and we’re so grateful to have you as part of this community effort!

A huge THANK YOU to our community for showing up for our students and helping us give back to the next generation of scholars. 👏

We have been receiving an increased amount of accidental 911 calls in recent weeks and would like to inform folks of some ways to prevent such incidents.

Many smartphones have emergency features that can automatically dial 911 when certain buttons are pressed or when the phone detects a specific sequence of actions. While these features are important in an emergency, accidental calls can tie up dispatchers and emergency resources.

Here are a few ways to help prevent accidental 911 calls:
