Beginning May 8, Rollinsford Police are participating in enhanced traffic enforcement patrols thanks to a grant from the NH Office of Highway Safety. Officers will be looking for any violation of law, more specifically distracted driving, driving under the influence, use of electronic devices, etc. Special attention will be given to the Roberts Road, Bear Road, and Portland Avenue corridors. A safety traffic sign has been temporarily set up on Portland Avenue in the vicinity of Roberts & Baer intersection advising motorist to reduce speed as they approach the intersection and not to pass on the right using the breakdown lane as a passing zone.
The Rollinsford Police Benevolent Association will host a trip to see the Manchester Monarchs play the Adirondack Thunder on Saturday, March 3, at 6 PM. The tickets and food vouchers are free. A bus will be provided for transportation to and from Manchester if you choose to take the bus. If you would like free tickets to the event, please email Chief Robert Ducharme at call 742-8549, ext 303.
On Tuesday, December 12, at approximately 8:39 pm, Rollinsford Police respond to a Highland Avenue residence after 911 received a call reporting an overdose.
Officer Jamie Lajoie found the
34 year old male not conscious, not breathing and blue in color. Officer Lajoie administered CPR. Within a few minutes, the male had a pulse and started breathing on his own. York Ambulance and Rollinsford Fire arrived soon thereafter and administered additional care.
The male was transported to Wentworth Douglass Hospital. Police believe it may have been a heroin overdose. But for the quick and professional actions of Officer Lajoie, this incident may have turned out tragic.
The town wide Winter Parking Ban begins November 15 and ends April 1.

It was reported in the recently released Town newsletter that permits are required for firearms. This information is incorrect. Permits ARE NOT required for the purchase or carrying of a firearm. You may still obtain a Concealed Weapons Permit from the PD if you choose, but they are not required.
The Police Department is requesting you call them if you see or hear anything out of the ordinary so it can be investigated immediately. Too often people will call the Police Department hours or days after an event because they did not want to bother the Police Department or did not know if they should call. We encourage you to call no matter how trivial you think it might be.
