"Cops" in Washington

Who we are, what we do, and why we have fun doing it!

In June, 2011 3 young adults from Washington attended the 38th session of the NH Police Cadet Training Academy (http://www.nhchiefsofpolice.com/Cadet_academy.htm), a one-week program to give insight into what career law enforcement officers experience in their Basic Academy training.  Cadets completing the rigorous session at Hesser College in Manchester were (l-r) Robert Doherty, Samantha Cordeiro and Michael Cordeiro.  Robert & Michael graduated from the Basic session, and Samantha from the second year Advanced program.  They are pictured with Chief Marshall who has been an Academy staff member for 24 years.

On April the Washington Police Department joined with the US Drug Enforcement Administration and over 5000 local agencies in hosting the National Prescription Drug Take Back Initiative in town.  Residents were given an opportunity to dispose off and unused prescriptions and medications at no cost.  Chief Marshall along with interns Amanda & Samantha spent 4 hours at the Washington Transfer Station and collected 26 pounds of medications from 18 residents.

In November, 2010 a New York based production company came to Town to film a motion picture about a local police officer falling in love with the Hollywood starlet.  Chief Marshall provided technical assistance and may even appear in a scene. 

Here are the Chief and Cory Patten of Cory Patten' Auto & Truck Works with some of the filming equipment and the prop police cruiser that Cory had to put into a ditch.  His wrecker also appears in the as yet unnamed movie.

Local resident Cindy treats Halloween like the rest of us do Christmas.  She wanted to get some real scary characters out this year, so guess who appeared on the Faxon Hill Rd. display?  Even without a fake radar gun Mini-Chief made drivers slow down just to look & laugh!

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.

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.
