****Not your COMMON police call.****

Officer Derek Sullivan responded to a residence early this morning at the request of the homeowner. The caller reported hearing an unusual sound from the chimney.

Upon his arrival, Officer Sullivan wasn’t sure what to expect, but he had a good idea it was some kind animal. As he walks up to the residence...he thinks the creature making all that noise could be a squirrel, a small bird or some other small mammal.

As he opens the clean out for the chimney a long, sharp, orange bill pokes out and begins to hiss. At this point, Officer Sullivan decides it isn’t in his best interest to bare hand this angry beast with its knife like bill. After a quick intermission to put on gloves, Officer Sullivan was able to safely coax this...wait for it...Common Merganser out of the chimney.

In all my years dealing with wildlife, I never had to deal with a duck in a chimney. This story does have a happy ending. The duck was placed in a box and later released at a local pond! Great work Officer Sullivan!

2019 Special Olympics Torch Run

Thank you to everyone that came out to run and/or volunteer at the Bethlehem, Sugar Hill and Franconia leg of the Torch Run. This year we had great running weather and it turned out to be an awesome day!

This year’s Torch Run was truly a great experience, because our leg of the Torch Run got to pass the Torch onto Lincoln Police Chief Chad Morris and the Lincoln crew at the Franconia/Lincoln town line in Franconia Notch.

At the end of the day, there was a great celebration/cook-out at the Hobo RailRoad in Lincoln. I must admit Retired Woodstock Police Chief Doug Moorehead and his crew served an incredible meal.

I would like to personally thank Retired Sugar Hill Police Chief Dave Wentworth for coordinating our leg of the event.

I would also like to thank Kerry Ann Morency for coming to root on all the runners!

Hope to see everyone at next year’s Torch Run! ... See MoreSee Less

OUR MISSION AND PHILOSOPHY

The mission of the Sugar Hill Police Department is to work in partnership with the community to provide the best possible public safety services, with emphasis on sensitivity to community needs and concerns. “Partnership”, in this sense, means a shared responsibility for community safety among the police and fire divisions, other town departments and community residents who cooperate together in providing information and influence to assure continuing community safety.

This community policing philosophy stems from an idea that is at the very foundation of our American heritage: the welfare of the country is the individual responsibility of each of it’s citizens. The philosophy fits particularly well in the Town of Sugar Hill:

  • Sugar Hill Police Officers have aquired an understanding of the community’s policing problems and particular circumstances that affect public safety.
  • The Sugar Hill Police Department is firmly committed to maintaining a spirit of partnership with the community.
