In July, 2009 Chief Marshall arranged for the NH State Police to come to town with the Bell 407 Helicopter for a display for the boys and counselors at the Montfort Retreat. Pilot David Linares and Unit Commander Sgt. Tom Lombardi did some aerial maneuvers before landing, then gave a presentation once they landed. They allowed anyone that wanted to sit in the Observer's seat and ask any questions they wanted.


In April of 2009 the Washington Elementary School & Washington Police Department held it's 4th DARE graduation for the 5th grade students. This was the first time that a Washington Police Officer, Tim Puchtler, has taught the course instead of an instructor hired from another Department. The 2009 graduates were: (front L-R) Jamie Griffin, Danielle Armstrong, Cierra Gould, Emeri Cilley, Joey Goodale, Jeffrey Dagesse, Brendan Doherty, Matthew Campbell (middle row L-R) Jordan Whiton, Forest Giove, Dylan Zubryzski, Colton Gregg, James Bruno, Elizabeth Rivest, Shawna Gates, Mikayla Goodale, Michael Carter, classroom teacher Nancy Stehno, (back row L-R) Department Administrative Assistant Michelle Dagesse, Ofc. John Corrigan, Ofc. Aaron Smith, Ofc. Tim Puchtler, Chief Steven Marshall

Unfortunately, due to an on-going investigation we cannot release too much information- in the summer of 2008 Chief Marshall and Ofc. Corrigan, working with the Attorney General's Drug Task Force, obtained a search warrant and seized a large quantity of marijuana in Washington.

Chief Marshall with Ofc. Corrigan proudly showing off the first guidon developed by a Part-Time Academy Class at Corrigan's graduation from the 252 Part-Time Academy in April, 2008. Ofc. Corrigan's was class was the first to complete the expanded 200 hour program, double what the previous classes were required to complete.

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 set a good example for the children of E. Washington. (Bob Hofestetter photo)

In January , 2006 Ofcs. Smith (l) and Remillard (r) became certified as Rescue Technicians. Here they are on Lake Skatutekee in Harrisville, NH. with Chief Marshall, who is an instructor for the certifying agency, Lifesaving Resources

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 kindergarten and first graders each year about what Chanukah is, and how he celebrates it with his family.
