“Partnering with Parents”

Parental Notification Program

The New Ipswich Police Department announces our new “Partnering with Parents” Parental Notification Program.

In an effort to strengthen the connection and partnership with the Town of New Ipswich, the New Ipswich Police Department will now offer a voluntary “Parental Notification Program” in which parents can sign up to be automatically notified should their children come in contact with New Ipswich Police officers. This program has been very successful in other communities and will no doubt do the same for New Ipswich.

After a parent signs up for this program, (forms are available here, or at the police station), an attempt will be made to notify the parent or guardian via telephone or other means anytime a police officer contacts their child.

Examples would include the child is stopped for operating a vehicle or as a passenger in a vehicle, or whenever the child is identified by police officers during routine patrols, etc.

The parent will be apprised of the police contact and will be able to ask the notifying officer any questions regarding the matter.

The parental notification program will automatically end on the child’s eighteenth birthday.

The philosophy behind the program is to facilitate and help parents maintain an open line of communication with the New Ipswich Police Department and their children. It gives the parents the ability to be made aware of events that may not normally be communicated to them by their children, thereby addressing any issues or questions that you may have with the police department.

If you have any questions in regards to this program, please feel free to contact Chief Garrett Chamberlain at 603-878-2771 or by e-mail.
