Pay Attention ! ... Be Aware!

There has been a recent outbreak of vandalism and home break ins recently in the southern area of town. Just recently a homeowner on Burt Hill came home to discover their house broken into and many items missing and another came home from work to discover someone had attempted to either burglarize their vehicle or steal it as the hazard lights were flashing from obvious tampering. Please keep your eyes open for any suspicious behavior in your area and be ever vigilant to strangers or strange vehicles cruising your neighborhood. Please contact the police department if something seems amiss. It's better to err on the side of caution than to have your neighbor come home and discover they have been victims.

Thanks. There have been a lot of slow drive bys on roads in this area and lots of weird activity on the Old Westport Road I hear. Poverty drives many to desperation and drugs run rampant in this town. And God knows this town gets poorer and poorer due to the economy, State cuts and taxes

Hey "anonymous", when you are speaking for a "number of us" who are getting tired of these comments.. who are you referring to? Perhaps the idiots and morons? I imagine you are speaking for yourself and feel compelled to justify your position by posting more BS that you are in fact speaking for others as well. I am sure the "others" can post their own complaints. Don't feel compelled to speak for anyone but yourself. You represent no one but yourself!

I would think the local police should be able to keep crime under control this time of the year, I don't think they have started there three cruiser a day detail habit yet.

true or not? said...

The word on the street this morning is that they got one of the kids and he pointed out the others.

Just read the blog. To anonymous on April 21st perhaps if it had been you that the people were trying to rip off you would not consider it a lie and falsehood. May it never happen to you because I am afraid that you would not look good in cowardly yellow!

Thanks for the info blog. People are more aware and paying attention.

just got word that two other houses were robbed this weekend. One on Mechanic or Michigan Street and another near the Combs Bridge.

can't take anymore said...

Not to be insulting...you cannot rob a house. However, you can burglarize a house car or other dwelling. The difference between the two is that a robbery involves taking something from a person without permission by force and placing a person in fear. Burglary is the unlawful and stealth entry to a dwelling at a particular time ( usually at night under NH law)with the intene to commit a crime therein...ie, theft, vandalisim, rape, assault...so on and so on. Just thought you would like to know the difference between the two. Hope this helps.

As far as the police are concerned: Kenny Smith needs to get of his fat ass and check business on the midnight shift instead of asking Gene Park to do businesses checks for him.

Make no mistake about it folks, scanners speak loud and clear and the fact that the police are allowing Gene Park or any civillian for that matter, to do police work is a serious liability issue.

NOTE: The town of Winchester is getting ready to eat a FEDERAL SEXUAL HARRASSMENT law suit which is being filed by Officer Jackie Parker involving EX-Officer Nate Jette who apparently could not keep his equipment in his trousers where it belonged. Thus, creating a very hostile work environment for Officer Parker.

Back to Gene Parks: he is not a certified police officer, nor will he ever be. He carries a firearm for his security company which the Town of Winchester and the Winchester Police department allow him to utilize as the Animal Control Officer to dispatch animals. There is no provision under town policy that allows Gene Park to use a personal non-department issued or town issued firearm nor does his job description as animal control require him to have one. This can and will spell disaster for the Town of Winchester if Gene uses his State Line Security firearm for Town of Winchester animal control issues.

Remember you heard it here first.Keep in mind folks,Gene Parks will do anything to be a cop and he will stop at nothing to do so. He heeds to be told in writing that he is to keep separate his security job from his animal control responsibilities.

A word of caution to you Mr. Park: You cannot detain anyone for the police departmemnt nor can they allow you to do so as they seem to do frequently, especially at the request of Officers Smith and Ziegler.

To Mr Park, if you are ever involved in a detention at the request of the police and the detention turns out disasterious and someone uses force against you What will you do? Arrest them...which you cannot do...Use force against them?...which you cannot do...Shoot them?...which you will never be justifed to do no matter how you try to explain that the police department gave you permission. Ether way you wil be subject to criminal and civil prosecution as well as the officers who allow you to get involved. And the Town of Winchester will suffer civil litigation any first year lawyer could win. Ask yourself this Mr.Park, will the Town of Winchester back me if I use force, excessive force, deadly force or detain someone and will they provide for me legal representation and funding should I get sued?

These issues have been brought brought to light via the Winchester Informer because these issues are happening frequently involving the WPD asking Mr.park to assist them with building checks and other police related functions such as traffic control. Which by the way Mr.Park, you cannot arbitrarily use your security lights for any function than for your Stateline Secutity properties and duties...not for random traffic assistance for the police department as the PD should knows this is illegal and they are responsible for any injuries or actions resulting from your assistance. Gene, Read and know your RSA's peretaining to use of secutiry lights and inspections laws.Do ALL of your security lights meet state inspection standards and guidelines?

NOT A GOOD IDEA FOLKS. YOU FOLKS HAVE BEEN WARNED! HOLD YOUR PD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS AND FOR ALLOWING CIVILLIANS TO DO THEIR JOB FOR THEM.
