Bicycle Safety Update
A new law was passed this year that requires people under the age of 16 to
wear a helmet while operating a bicycle on a public way. RSA
265:144, X states:
No person less than 16 years of age may operate or ride
upon a bicycle on a public way unless he or she wears protective headgear of a
type approved by the commissioner of health and human services.
This is a violation and subject to a fine.
The police department would like to remind everyone that
wearing a helmet while riding your bike makes good sense and could save your
life. This law has been on the books for awhile now but not every parent
is aware that it exists. The police department will be stopping people
and giving them a friendly reminder, that if they are under 16, to please wear
a helmet while riding on the roads of Danville. Please be safe and happy
biking!

Officer Receives Promotion
January 2006: It gives me great pleasure to
announce the following promotion:
Ryan Furman – From Officer to Sergeant
Officer Furman has been a member of the department since December of 2000.
He is a graduate of New Hampshire’s 132nd FT Police
Academy and notably was the first graduate from the academy wearing a Danville
patch. He clearly understands the department’s mission and values,
and he is aware of how his work integrates with and advances the goals of the
department. His commitment and
dedication to the department make him an excellent choice for the position of
Sergeant and a role model for those seeking to understand the department’s
values and how they impact the day-to-day operations.
Congratulations to officer Furman on his well-deserved
promotion.

Danville Police Association
June
2004: Police
Officers from the Danville Police Department have formed a non-profit
association, called the Danville Patrolmen's Association.
This non-profit association will help fund various projects within
the department as well as community projects throughout Danville.
It is the goal
of the Association to help minimize the tax burden by accepting donations
and raising funds to offset expenditures within the police department.
The Association is looking forward to working with residents on other
special projects that will benefit the Danville Community as well.
If you would
like to donate to the Association you may do so by sending your
tax-deductible contribution to: The Danville Patrolmen's Association, PO BOX
443, Danville, NH 03819.
The "Wall of Fame" Pays Homage to Danville Police Officers.
November 2001: If a picture is worth a thousand words then the photos that grace the
hallway at the Danville Police Department have quite a story to tell.
After months of research, Lt. Leo Beauchamp
brought his idea to life by compiling nearly 30 photos that pays homage to
past Danville Police Officers. Many of the photos capture former
Police Chiefs in historical settings. One such photo of Police
Chief Chester Kimball dates back to 1942. There are also several
photos of dignitaries including Bob and Elizabeth Dole taken in 1972 and a
more recent autographed photo from Dennis
Franz of NYPD Blue to Chief Wade Parsons who Dennis remarks shares an
amazing resemblance to himself.
"There have been many dedicated people over the years who have unselfishly
contributed to the success of the department" said Police Chief Wade H.
Parsons. "While it's important to stay focused on the future of
the department, we should never lose sight of where we've been or forget
those who gave so much." The "Wall
of Fame" should serve as a good reminder.
