As part of a school emergency drill in November, 2006,
the Western NH Special Operations Unit was invited to do a tactical
entry to show the students what the policemen may look like if they have
to come to the school to help them. We wanted the students to see
the officers all geared up, so if the need ever arose, the students and
teachers would not be afraid of them.
On the left Chief Marshall watches as Ofc. Mudget of
the Claremont Police talks with the 3-4 class. Kindergarten
teacher Erika Sullivan watches as Chief Marshall and Chief Tim Julian of
the Springfield Police Department talk about the equipment he carries. |

The
police cruiser is always stocked with bike helmets for those we see not
wearing them while riding. In July of 2006, Chief Marshall
happened to see Selectman Richard Cook patrolling E. Washington on his
bike, and not wearing a helmet. Rich was given a helmet and
promised to see a good example for the children of E. Washington.

The
police do more than just "cops and robbers", To help the school
teach about all cultures, the Chief is invited to talk to the
