Guest Speaker
This writer introduced Chief Tom Oetinger, Laconia Police Dept.,
to the club. He has been with the department for 23 years and
almost a year as Chief. He is still in the midst of technical
issues surrounding the move to the new station. The new building
has about twice the space as the Winston Bldg., better environmental
engineering and security, and larger work areas. They also now
have a Community Room that will be available to the public for
meetings as needed. Bonnette, Page, and Stone is still finishing
up some of their work and the landscaping remains to be finished.
The Chief is planning an open house in September. Violent crimes
and domestic violence calls are up from the previous year. Several
community services officers have been hired to free up the regular
staff's time. A victims services program has been established.
He will be looking for part-time volunteers to act as clerks
to act as a receptionist and answer phones. The department is
expecting 900-1500 Hells Angels to be in the area this weekend
for their national run. Most of their activities will be on their
Filmore Ave. property where they have permits for bands and fireworks.
Laconia Police's payroll includes 35 officers and 10 civilians
and has a fleet of 14 vehicles with 7 on the road at any given
time. For more information go to laconiapd.org.
