Campton Police Officers Growing Beards in Support of local Child Advocacy Centers
New Hampshire’s Child Advocacy Centers (CACs) support child victims of physical and sexual abuse, as well those children who have witnessed violent crimes. CACs support these children in the early stages of criminal investigations by offering forensic interview services and by connecting them to important community resources.
To bring awareness to the cause a number of Grafton and Sullivan County Police Chiefs have authorized their officers who have pledged support to our local Child Advocacy Center to grow beards, mustaches or goatees; or nails (for female officers) during the month of October. Campton PD is proud of the great work of the Grafton and Sullivan County Child Advocacy Centers and want to thank YOU for supporting them in their efforts!

Congratulations to Officer Arias on his recent graduation from the 176th NH Police Academy.
Each Police Academy graduate has completed intensive on-site training intended to give them the core knowledge necessary to work as a police officer. The police academy is 16 weeks long and requires the recruits to live on-site, except for weekends. The Academy is paramilitary in nature, and requires military discipline.
They receive classroom training in laws, ethics, report writing, human relations, and many other topics. They also receive practical and scenario-based training on everything from traffic stops and defensive tactics to building searches.
Officer Arias is excited to serve the community and will be assigned to field training with one of the Department's Field Training Officers.
