As the 2026 school year comes to a close the North Berwick Police Department held its 14th Annual Bike to School Day. Families gathered in the Mill Field and made their way up Wells and High Streets to the North Berwick Elementary School. We couldnt be more proud of the Community support this event has garnered over the years - and this year was no different. Thanks to all those who supported the event and the families who participated.

Today is National School Resource Officer Day - ironic that it happens on a Sunday - and we want to recognize and thank (SRO) Jonathan Koelker. SRO Koelker, or Jonny to most, has been with NBPD for almost 2 decades and his dedication to the Noble Community is rivaled by none. You'll find him not only dealing with his law enforcement functions, but also helping out with after school activities and even serving as an "Unofficial Coach" for many of Noble's teams. We appreciate you everyday SRO Koelker, but today you can enjoy the formal accolades - a non-school day!!!
