Our most successful community service programs has been our Child Fingerprinting Project. Recently we partnered with the Clarke Distributors Company, located on lower Winchester Street. Now not only will you be able to have your child fingerprinted on the SentryKIDS® FingerTIPS child fingerprint software program, you will also be able to obtain public safety information on various topics such as alcohol and drug use, personal safety information, computer safety information and much more.
We are still the ONLY Law Enforcement affiliated organization in the area to utilize a totally digital child fingerprinting system. To date we have fingerprinted over 1300 children in Keene and the surrounding area.
Due to the KPOA's involvement in the local community throughout the past few years, they have been by the Horsley Witten Group, the consultant hired to assist the City in the Community Master Plan update to participate in a "round table" meeting with them on August 4th, 2009. This meeting will allow the chance to talk about neighborhood issues, concerns, and solutions with the is also going to help them prepare for our upcoming community outreach in September on this issue.
The KPOA has designated John Stewart to attend the meeting on behalf of the KPOA. Officer Stewart has been actively meeting with the various Neighborhood Groups throughout the City and reached out to them so that their concerns will be addressed at this meeting through Officer Stewart.
This is just another way that the KPOA does and will continue to work together with the various groups, organizations, associations, and businesses to make Keene a great place to live.
Keene, NH - It is with great honor that we announce that Officer John Stewart - President of the Keene Police Officers Association has been appointed to the New Hampshire Retirement System Medical Subsidy Study Commission by Governor Lynch. House Bill (HB) 1645 was signed into law by Governor John H. Lynch on June 30, 2008. HB 1645, also known as the “omnibus bill”, contains a series of revisions to the laws that govern the NH Retirement System. One of those revisions within the bill, specifically Section 13, deals with a "Medical Subsidy Study Commission." The Medical Subsidy study commission has been created to determine future funding for medical subsidy benefits.
Officer Stewart will be representing the Group II members of the System. Group II members consist of Law Enforcement Officers and Fire Fighters.
Keene, NH - The Keene Police Officers Association recently partnered with MJD Hair Salon to raise money for Big Brothers and Big Sisters and to help support the KPOA's child fingerprinting project.
The event dubbed, "Buzz for the Fuzz" consisted of MJD Hair Salon personnel providing haircuts to people for $10.00. While people waited to get their haircuts, the KPOA provided child fingerprinting to the children.
Having up-to-date information on your child will enable law enforcement agencies to electronically disseminate essential missing child information, statewide if necessary, within minutes and dramatically increase the possibility of bringing a missing child home unharmed. In addition to being able to quickly provide important details to police agencies investigating child disappearances, the SentryKIDS® FingerTIPS Fingerprint Card will serve as an important tool when used in conjunction with the New Hampshire Amber Alert System.
The event raised over $1,000 dollars which went to worthwhile programs that support children in the Monadnock Region.
Keene, NH - The KPOA teamed up with the YMCA to provide necessary funding to support the Elm City Triathalon.
Officer John Stewart commented that its programs like these that make Keene such a great community. We are always happy to assist organizations who promote programs that support health and wellness of persons involved.
Keene, NH - The KPOA partnered with the City of Keene during their safety summer camp. The Saftey Camp was the first ever safety camp offered within the City of Keene and was specifically geared towards for children ages 7- to 8-years old. Four groups of ten children rotated through four main blocks of safety related exercises during the camp. The adult leaders for the camp are police officers, firefighters, paramedics and recreation staff.
As part of the KPOA's Community Service Initiative, the KPOA provided child fingerprinting to all the participants during the camp.
