Chief Canfield said the department had received a survey via the department website that appeared to stem from an incident during motorcycle week where people at the roadside may have been encouraging burnouts; he said the person who submitted the survey provided no contact information, so staff could not follow up. The chief told the meeting he would have been \"happy to reach out\" but had no way to do so because the complaint was anonymous.

A meeting participant characterized the submission as \"a stupid complaint\" in the transcript; the comment was recorded but the meeting record does not show a formal response to that characterization. The chief offered to speak with the resident after the meeting.

The second request was for travel to the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) conference in Denver in October; the presenter said the trip includes leadership tracks and a mandatory meeting for an IACP committee the attendee serves on.

Commissioner Davis made the motion to approve the two out-of-state conference requests; Commissioner Mello seconded the motion. The commissioners voted \"Aye,\" and the travel requests \"pass[ed] unanimously,\" according to the meeting record.

The approvals were recorded as routine authorizations of staff travel; no additional funding details beyond the $749 tuition figure for the APCO trip were provided in the meeting record.","Commissioners unanimously approved two out-of-state conference requests: Dispatcher Amanda Mountford to APCO Atlantic chapter in Mystic, Conn., Nov. 16\t6, $749 cost; and a request to attend the IACP conference in Denver in October (attendee noted in the request).",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6155302,"Police chief outlines plan to replace K-9 with Labrador teams, proposes mixed funding",187,749000,936000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5480417-c88d22e9ef00da97680cf2eb9a01442d&start=749&end=936","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5480417-c88d22e9ef00da97680cf2eb9a01442d/thumbnail_749000.jpg","/articles/6155302/New-Hampshire/Police-chief-outlines-plan-to-replace-K-9-with-Labrador-teams-proposes-mixed-funding","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6155302-61ccd5d5d6780e121d02d583e9de04bd/orig.mp4?Expires=1770753569&Signature=dHDPFiI7x8lEpBqT6lfivqwBhz6VJHE7jGHPD2aiJiBL7YKAmeUO4XjNwtBZnQ2labbanFiGVLvWAKde9M7JzwhETDxA-Yj5kJ1dM4Mzs2k0qZlad~WaJCurW8GCzA4~Gftub7~0c8MUciI1MWPcKGmx5741~xHCnBDkBfu5SO7uIXxAg19zaK-O~211KGvDsQnLCE0f-4nGvncMWhHo39M8gl~wD3KnJ2tcZDq3am~tCqTNek1xdfvVrYkiXwqhCjAb-3E3~zMd8Xcp6zxWSEhQljkXPjvSG5uOAov-i3oYcuiMHt4RTxnppwvUhvL2GZUn8q-oLYi~hnzrOVTZ1Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Chief Canfield told commissioners the departments current canine is nearing the end of its working life, telling the panel, \"he is nearing the end of his work in life. So he's got, what appears to be hip dysplasia in his hips.\" The chief described plans to replace the dog with Labrador retrievers trained in tracking and explosives detection and said the department will send two dogs to the same five-week training program in South Carolina so theyll be matched to their handlers.

The chief said the department has moved away from using its previous K-9 for drug searches because of the increased presence of heroin and fentanyl and the risk to dogs. He described the Labrador as \"a much friendlier dog that we can use for community presentations and community events.\" The department plans to buy two identical dogs to improve tracking availability and reduce off-duty callouts.

On cost, the chief said the training-and-replacement program is \"$25,000 per dog.\" He told commissioners the first dog was funded through last years budget and that the additional replacement would be funded with \"$10,000 from our drug forfeiture fund and then the other $15,000 to absorb that from our current budget.\" The chief said the department selected two handlers through a testing process and is confirming that the handlers can meet the 24-hour home-care commitment required for a K-9.

Commissioner Davis asked whether the department was \"shying away from German shepherds,\" and the chief confirmed the planned dogs are Labrador retrievers. The chief characterized the shorter, five-week trainers program as more schedule- and cost-efficient than earlier, longer programs the department used. The plan was discussed as a department initiative; the meeting record does not show a formal vote or an appropriation approved by the commission during this session.

The chief also noted the Labradors community-friendly profile and utility for tracking and presentations as reasons for the change.","Chief Canfield said the departments patrol dog is nearing the end of service and outlined plans to acquire two Labrador retrievers trained for tracking and explosives detection at about $25,000 per dog; funding for the replacement dog would use $10,000 from drug forfeiture funds and $15,000 from the departments current budget, the chief said.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6155307,"Police report: June calls rise about 9%; two fatal motorcycle crashes during motorcycle week",170,478000,648000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5480417-c88d22e9ef00da97680cf2eb9a01442d&start=478&end=648","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5480417-c88d22e9ef00da97680cf2eb9a01442d/thumbnail_478000.jpg","/articles/6155307/New-Hampshire/Police-report-June-calls-rise-about-9-two-fatal-motorcycle-crashes-during-motorcycle-week","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6155307-37762da3e07f314eb077806a5d5342ba/orig.mp4?Expires=1770753569&Signature=mgE-dYWkZYTr2YWVSGIsJsOmLbvE1jq8QuL5B37qiP9VANG4R7atKiTJv4--4a7mrIvwTPUyF7qGkXh0YgFUY3XgBwCWkoesQnIwBTYCZflK4isxtDdXa9zzHH4e4CamPNhbSpKLpI~4IihorvhVSVYjsUpckjL-J~tLL0Rclr12HETSm55da7rr5tF4ES0KWPlkCVhqR4bC8TulZ0y8sYmImAz-m8qcyvQHFJu3GZQmhJWlzP3f561iw2fXY5KkgCHf1xZ788KXglP8iN6kzgxfyZKPjOJQWgAR5lwfyeDmEM9dwRT9jMn7oT0OCqJd-9QPmqx3EMuv3gS6ZFGMMQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jim Canfield, presenting the departments monthly highlights, told commissioners the department responded to 2,683 calls for service in June, \"up, just over 9%.\" He said the department conducted 232 park walk-and-talks and 351 extra patrols, \"which is up drastically, 154%.\" Canfield reported 11 community policing events and 415 criminal offenses investigated, with 278 cleared by arrest and 153 physical-custody arrests. He said 38 people were taken into custody for intoxication, 28 domestic disturbance calls were handled, 100 other disturbances were recorded, nine suicidal subjects were responded to and nine alleged restraining-order violations were investigated. Canfield also said victim-services volunteers donated eight hours in June.

Chief Canfield summarized criminal-investigative-unit activity, saying investigators were assigned 38 initial cases, performed nine follow-ups and made one felony arrest. The unit \"initiated two felony charges, one misdemeanor arrest, six search warrants,\" and cleared two cases exceptionally, the chief said. He reported 18 offender registrations, one computer/cyber tip investigation, five cell-phone extractions, five background investigations and five drug-intel reports; investigatory staff also covered 24 hours of patrol shifts.

On traffic, Steve Canfield said the department issued 243 parking tickets in June, responded to 64 motor-vehicle accidents (22 with injury) and recorded two fatal motor-vehicle crashes, both involving motorcycles during motorcycle week. He reported 687 motor-vehicle stops, 120 motor-vehicle summonses and 533 written warnings.

The reports were presented as informational updates to commissioners; no formal votes or policy changes were made on the statistics. Commissioners asked no follow-up questions recorded in the transcript.

The statistics were presented during the departments monthly activity item and were followed by separate briefing items on budget, facilities and operations.","Police officials reported 2,683 calls for service in June, an increase of just over 9%, and said two fatal motorcycle crashes during motorcycle week were recorded; department leadership presented patrol, investigative and traffic statistics to commissioners.","actionData","errors"]
