Communications

The Communications Division handles the emergency dispatching for the Sheriff's Department and the towns of Alton, Barnstead, Belmont, Center Harbor, Gilmanton, Meredith, New Hampton, Northfield, Sanbornton, and Tilton on both a part-time and full-time basis. In addition, we handle calls for the New Hampshire Fish & Game Department's local Conservation Officers, Liquor Commission, Medical Examiners and County Attorney's Office, who are on-call through the Sheriff's Department. The communications center is equipped with state-of-the-art digital radios and a microwave link to the communication towers.

In 2002, the communications center was dedicated posthumously in honor of Communications Supervisor Tracy Ann Beauchemin.
