Message from our President Thank you for visiting our Webpage. I am honored to assume the duties of President of the New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police. I thank President Morency, Past President Valiquet and all the other hardworking members of the association who during this past year have continually worked for the good of our members. Mentoring is an important part of life and success. Therefore the Chiefs association has partnered with the International Association of Chiefs of Police in developing a mentoring program for new chiefs. This past year 20 chiefs have undergone Training to be mentors and we currently offer the program to new chiefs within weeks of their appointments. This is an important program that was started this past year and one that I am committed to. It allows our association the ability to offer our members, our expertise and hopefully overcome a lot of roadblocks and traps that can befall the unwary. Too often we see in the paper a chief who has made decisions that have come back to haunt them, the mentoring program can hopefully assist them, guide them and perhaps allow them the ability to make a better decision. This partnership with the IACP is one of many partnerships we have made to benefit our members. The recent partnership with teachers, firefighters and other groups in our Retirement program has helped the legislature make an informed decision, one in our favor. We are currently working with other groups that are against expanded gambling, attempting to point out that it is not a quick fix to our states financial needs. But one that The IACP, through our partnership, is now offering us an expanded management training program in New Hampshire for Chiefs. I plan on continuing this proactive approach with partners to bring more benefits to our members through training, lobbying for their interests and to make membership in the association an extremely valuable asset.
