4. OLD AND UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
A. Memorandum of Understanding: Police Commission and Council. (This discussion was taken
out of order from the agenda and heard later in the meeting.) Chair Stevens turned this discussion over to
Commissioner Gray.
Comm. Gray said at his first Police Commission meeting he started looking at the budget and looked
at the Memorandum of Understanding that was dated back in the teens and it is now 2026. There is one
paragraph I didn’t believe is correct. Once our budget is presented, it is treated like every other budget.
The City Charter, Chapter 24 reads:
* Rochester Police Commission: 03/04/2026
SECTION 24: DUTIES OF POLICE COMMISSION
It shall be the duty of the Board of Police Commissioners authorized hereunder to appoint such police
officers, constables, and superior officers as it may in its judgment deem necessary and to fix their
compensation; and, to make all rules and regulations for the government of the police force and to
enforce the same.
Comm. Gray said I don’t know happened the last several years when the budget put in for two police
officers but that has been changed by the City Council. In reviewing the minutes that’s never been approved
by the Police Commission that that number be reduced. The City Charter gives the Police Commission the
authority and the authorization to set that number.
Commissioner Gray said I’d like an acknowledgement by the Commission, it is the Commission’s
position that how many officers we need going forward and they should be authorized in this budget.
Commissioner Stevens said that we submitted for six officers. I support six. Both Commissioner
Gray and Winship echoed that support.
Comm. Stevens said that the Police Commission supports the six officers.
Comm. Gray said it is our position those [positions] are needed to fulfill the portion of the City
Charter.
Comm. Stevens asked who has the final say in the bottom line of the budget. The Police Commission
supports for six additional police officers in the budget and does support the budget as presented by the
Chief.
Comm. Gray said the second issue is the Police Commission to formally request the agreement
between the City Council and Commission be renegotiated.
Comm. Stevens said the last version of the MOU was in effect in 2013. It does follow Sections 24
and 25 of the Charter. The MOU expands on communication. I don’t object either way as a Commissioner. I
find the last few terms the relationship between the Council, Mayor, City Manager and the Police
Commission has been outstanding. There have been times we’ve modified financials and renegotiated
contracts earlier and we had the full support of the City to the benefit of the community helping us to retain
police officers and personnel, and to recruit personnel.
Comm. Stevens said, “If it’s not broke, we don’t need to fix it.” I think if we really had some issues,
we could look closer, but I haven’t seen that.
Comm. Gray commented. “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it. That is part of my problem.” The Charter
gives the Police Commission specific duties, and you can see what the Council has done with that paragraph
in that MOU that says it will be treated like any other budget. My opinion, it says “we don’t care what you
said.” We are going to do what we think is right for the police department regardless of what the Police
Commission said. I invited the City Manager and Mayor here so they can speak to that part. If they are going
to treat that budget like any other, you have lost all the control that you had in Section 25, and they are
violating that City Charter.
Comm. Stevens offered the Mayor and City Manager an opportunity to comment on that.
* Rochester Police Commission: 03/04/2026
City Manager Ambrose said I share the same interpretation of the MOU as my predecessor, which is
though I wasn’t a party to the MOU signed by City Manager Fitzpatrick, the need to honor MOU’s and other
legally binding agreements of predecessors is vital and important for the City to maintain continuity and as
well as stability of long-term relationships. This isn’t unique to this agreement. There are many others that
we have that were signed by my predecessors that we continue to uphold and to honor. She said it was my
experience that the relationship between the Police Commission, the City Manager and City Council has
been very positive and collaborative. It’s my intention to continue. If there are any concerns raised, my door
is open.
City Manager Ambrose said that the MOU itself does acknowledge that the Charter lacks clarity in
some areas. The intention of the MOU was to mutually agree upon clarifying those areas regarding the
powers and duties between the City Manager and the Police Commission. Where the Charter was not clear
regarding some of those functions and the parties at that time agreed here is how we are going to establish
those roles and duties. It’s my intention to uphold that. If the majority of the Police Commission feels
different then I would bring that to the Council. For now, it’s my intention to honor those stipulations and
terms and to continue our relationship.
City Manager Ambrose said regarding the budget, I certainly take any requests, issues and options,
that come to me and the Council very seriously and take into great consideration. As a reminder we are a tax
cap community. So, everything must be looked at in the lens of that reality, our financial health and our
needs. As Chair Stevens mentioned, the City Manager and Council have funded requests throughout the
years even between budgets for issues related to recruitment, retention or collective bargaining. We honor
those needs when feasible and possible in the confines of our financial restrictions.
Comm. Gray asked the City Manager, how in the last three budgets have you honored the section of
the charter where it says the police commission can set the number of police officers, constables and senior
officers. How have you honored that portion of the charter.
City Manager Ambrose responded, “I honor the stipulations of the MOU. As dictated and as mutually
agreed on in the budget process. I do my best to fund what is feasible within the tax cap and our financial
picture.
Comm. Gray asked, “Can the MOU supersede the City Charter.”
The City Manager replied the MOU is built on and in alignment with the Charter.
Comm. Stevens said Sections 24 and 25 are brief with not a lot of details in those sections. We can all
read this and come to a different interpretation. That’s a discussion that needs more time. He noted that he
did read Attorney Wensley’s opinion from decades ago that clarified whether the Police Commission had
control of the staff. To Comm. Gray, he asked, you want the Council to approve the budget the Police
Commission sets?
Comm. Gray said the first issue was to put the Police Commission on record informing the City
Council and City Manager we have determined in accordance with City Charter, Chapters 24 and 25 that we
believe and have made the decision that there should be six additional officers.
The second part was the request that the MOU be renegotiated because some might think it can
supersede the City Charter. There is clear evidence that says the board of Police Commissioners is
authorized herein to appoint such officers and constables and superior officers as in its judgement it deems
necessary and to fix their compensation. Saying we are going to turn our budget over to [the city manager]
* Rochester Police Commission: 03/04/2026
you, and you can do whatever you want with it is not in accordance with this and in my opinion is a violation
of the City Charter.
Comm. Gray asked, is the Police Commission asking, or not asking, to have the MOU renegotiated or
looked at.
Comm. Stevens said as Chair, I don’t have an issue looking at the MOU, since the last one was
signed in 2013, and there is a whole slate of new people. We can determine do we want an MOU or do we
just want to follow sections 24 and 25 of the Charter. This isn’t a point that will get resolved this evening.
Mayor Grassie responded. He said the City Council has not discussed this. We know that the School
Board is working on a budget that is under the tax cap. They have a statutory charge of adopting a budget for
the benefit of education of the children of our city, just as you have a responsibility of developing a budget
for the protection of our city. But we have a tax cap. Mr. Gray wants us to ignore the tax cap and say
whatever you guys want, if you want six officers, regardless of how it impacts the tax cap. I think that the
City Council is very responsive to that and to the needs of our citizens to have protection in the city. We
work together and we have worked together, particularly since the MOU, to make sure we stay within the tax
cap. If you want to bring in a budget in the tax cap and you want to hire six officers, but we cut three
cruisers, maybe that will work, but that’s not responsible. You know that. I know that.
Mayor Grassie said I served on this Council when the City Council and the Commissioners didn’t get
along together at all, and over the past number of years we’ve had this MOU and we’ve gotten along fine. I
think we need to work together. I don’t think we need disruption in this process right now. As you’ve said if
it’s not broken you don’t need to fix it. It’s not broken and it works. I think that being responsible to the
taxpayers of the City of Rochester is the fiduciary responsibility of the City Council. We have to judge the
needs of all the departments in the city as well. Where is our dollar best spent. Where can we best respond to
the taxpayers of the city of Rochester.
Comm. Stevens commented he is in his fifth term as a police commissioner, and he can say that the
Mayor and Council have been very, very, good to work for. The Police Commission hasn’t asked for
unreasonable demands. Our leadership in the police department has always done an excellent job of
providing a solid budget that will hopefully meet the needs of the city. I and the other Commissioners want
more police officers. The chief wants more police officers. But I also do realize that the school wants more
teachers. Everything in life is about balance.
Mayor Grassie responded that the school department is looking at cutting teachers, not adding
teachers. But when you bring a proposal before the City Council requesting six police officers and the
Council cuts it to maybe two, it anguishes us to have to do that. We understand that it would make the
Chief’s job a heck of a lot easier if he had a full staff and all the officers that he wants. One of the problems
we look at as well is that you just can’t hire them. The thing is, we understand that. It’s not something we do
as a dalliance.
Comm. Gray responded. The Mayor talked about how the City Council works with the School
Department. I certainly am willing to do the same kind of thing in the MOU as you do the school dept, but it
can’t just be the sworn officers, constables and senior officers. It’s got to be the whole police department
budget like the school has their whole budget.
If you want me to stay in the tax cap that’s a good reason to renegotiate the MOU and say we’re not
going to treat you like any other budget. We’re going to treat you like the school budget, and you will have
control over it, line-item control, you won’t have to come ask me if you get grants from somebody, the
* Rochester Police Commission: 03/04/2026
Police Commission can accept it like the school accepts it. Put it in the MOU you will treat us like the school
budget; however you want to word it, we’re going to set the top dollar number and give you line-item
control. But that’s not what it says right now.
Comm. Gray said the plain reading of the Charter says I get to pick that number of officers. It has
been in my opinion because of the MOU “oh we’re all going to” but we don’t want the Commission to have
any power, give it all to the Council. Of course, the City is happy with the MOU because it took away all the
authority the commission has in doing those things. To me that’s unacceptable. If it’s acceptable to the other
two, I get to hold my breath for the next year and a half.
Mayor Grassie responded. I don’t think the MOU took away any power at all. That is how the City
Council and the Police Commission operated in the 70’s and 80’s.
Comm. Stevens said I think we need a legal opinion on whether a 2013 document without the present
Mayor, City Manager and Council and Police Commission is still a valid document or does it expire. Is it a
longstanding document that will carry on forever?
Mayor Grassie said unless you want to renegotiate it. It’s like an ordinance. If we pass an ordinance
the next sitting Council, it doesn’t get voided. This is an agreement that we had with the City of Rochester,
Manager and Council and Police Commission, and it’s something that carries on, as any contract would carry
on the same way.
Comm. Gray said and that was exactly what my request was. That we renegotiate it.
Comm. Stevens said I don’t see any issues moving the way we are. But I don’t have any issue
looking it over to see if we need to make any changes to anything. I am one vote but I’m not willing to do a
180-degree shift on something that has proven to work, over time.
Comm. Stevens said we’ve been doing some great things with recruiting and making good strides.
But I’m going to be honest. There is no doubt we are going to need more police officers. The City is
growing. All the numbers say we need more police officers. I’d like six, but we are also only one department
in the city. I don’t think the police department has been treated badly or unfairly. He asked Comm.
Winship’s opinion.
Comm. Winship said I think it’s been working fine. I do get Comm. Gray’s standing—that we get the
authority to hire. We can hire as many as we want. We can hire thirty people if we want. But we have to find
it within our budget to pay them whether it’s taking something else out.
Comm. Stevens asked where we need to go from today.
Comm. Gray offered a motion.
Comm. Gray MOVED to continue the present agreement for six months and in those six
months it gets renegotiated. At the end of those six months the Police Commission and the City
Council need to decide if they want to do the agreement or not. Comm. Winship SECONDED
the motion.
Open for discussion.
* Rochester Police Commission: 03/04/2026
Comm. Stevens said he feels we can look at the MOU; the Chair can sit with the Mayor and City
Manager possibly at an in-depth workshop. I don’t think we need timeframe parameters. I don’t think we
need a motion, as long as we agree to relook at the document. Comm. Stevens said there may be things we
can improve on, but I don’t think we need to go the motion route. I would vote no.
Comm. Gray said the reason the motion was structured the way it was is to get you through the
current budget. I don’t anticipate that the Council will honor the Commission’s request for six officers. But
that one section in there that you get to treat the budget like any other disregarding what it says in the city
charter is incorrect. That time limit is needed to put some pressure on both sides to get it done. It gets you out
of the budget and on to the next, and six months from today if either party wants to vacate what has been
done or approve what has been negotiated, it’s all there. Deadlines work especially when you are negotiating
this kind of stuff.
Comm. Gray said unless Comm. Winship withdraws his second, you know which way I’ll be voting.
Comm. Stevens said I’m willing to work with them, work with an attorney if needed for legal opinion
on any sections, but I do not want the six-month commitment. I want to do it as a sign of good faith that we
are willing to do this. If we are not making progress, then at that time maybe a time limit but I don’t think we
need to start out that way.
Comm. Winship said I’ll withdraw my second. I agree with you on that point that we talk among
ourselves.
The motion FAILED.
Comm. Stevens inquired if anything else needed to be covered.
Comm. Gray said, yes, the rest of the staff. The City Charter talks about constables. In looking for a
definition of constables in city documents he didn’t find one there, nor in the RSAs, nor in discussion with
Commissioner Quinn of the Department of Safety. But there are references throughout the RSA chapter
regarding constables. One of the salient points in RSA 106-B:12 and B:1. RSA 106-B:12 Authority and
Duties of Police Employees says Police employees shall be ex-officiis constables throughout the state.
If you go back to 106-B:1 X defines what a police employee means "Police employee" means any
employee who is assigned to police work.
Comm. Gray said for discussion going forward if there was a policy in accordance with the Charter
that says police employees are assigned police work as listed below are ex officio constables, their duties
may include or be limited to animal control, parking control, crime analyst, or evidence technician.
This is a proposal and would be in keeping with what the RSA says about constables. According to
the statutes they can do certain writs, certain warrants, like an election warrant that’s posted. All those things
I listed would be police duties. Just today there was an example that when the evidence technician wasn’t
around a police officer did those duties. Dispatchers. We all know when we have been short on dispatchers
we’ve taken a police officer for that role. If you go back and look, a lot of those duties were police officers,
and we took that police officer out of there because we needed them on the street or in detectives. We needed
them in other places and so we said okay we are going to put these other people in. But that statement that I
wrote there is good for the RSA. It falls within what I believe the charter says. The Police Commission can
make the rules and regulations for the government of the police force and to enforce the same. Therefore,
they would become constables regardless of what Attorney Wensley opined. He did not look at it in that
* Rochester Police Commission: 03/04/2026
light. The Rochester Police Commission, the Rochester City Council, whomever, says what a constable is
and the charter already says that the Police Commission can have control over this so that’s something else
as you enter into negotiations, as you said you would do (to Chair Stevens) on this MOU that should be
looked at.
Comm. Winship said it doesn’t say sworn.
Comm. Gray said no, it doesn’t. I had a long conversation with Commissioner Quinn and if they were
going to carry a firearm, going to arrest people, that’s when he would like them to be certified, at least by a
part time certification or something. But if they were doing parking control, animal control, you don’t have
those people certified right now, all you would be doing is adding to their “titles” that they are ex officio
constables, right after 106B in the RSA’s.
Comm. Stevens said I think constable is an outdated term. If Commissioner Quinn doesn’t even
know what it is. It was a term that was used 100 years ago. The problem is the job we have now has become
so specialized. A dispatcher is a vital position. A dispatcher is not a constable. I don’t know why we would
want to assign other duties or give that person a different title. Why would you want to give a crime analyst a
different title and different responsibilities?
Mayor Grassie said the first line police employees shall be ex officio constables, that falls in line with
what Comm. Winship said. They are not sworn. They are ex-officio, so that means they are not really
constables.
Comm. Gray asked the Mayor to please read the first line in 106B.
Mayor Grassie read “Police employees shall be ex officio constables throughout the state.”
Comm. Gray said I mirrored that wording in the proposal because this gives me a basis for doing it.
Mayor Grassie said they are not constables. The charter says constables.
Comm. Gray replied an ex officio constable is a constable.
Mayor Grassie said I’m an ex officio member of a number of committees, but I can’t vote .
Comm. Gray said that’s because the Charter says you can’t. Tell me where an ex officio can’t vote in
the City Charter. This is not confrontational. This was given to you as one of the things the Police
Commission, if we believe as a group, that we should have control over those people. I believe we should
have line-item control of the budget in the police department and all of them and that the City Council
should have top dollar just like the school department. Just like the Mayor said in his remarks.
Comm. Gray said the chair said he’s going to negotiate it. You didn’t want to set a time limit. When
you negotiate it, please give this some consideration because I’m here to fight for what is good for the police
department. That’s what I’m here for. That’s my job.
Comm. Stevens said a lot of other communities follow the state statute that includes staff, but our
Charter section 24 and 25 doesn’t include the word staff. If we were following the statute and not our
Charter, staff like administrative people would fall under the control of the Police Commission. Whoever did
Chapters 24 and 25 didn’t want that in there and it isn’t. I think the intent and reason why it wasn’t in there
back then was for the Police Commission control to manage police officers, sworn officers through senior
leadership.
* Rochester Police Commission: 03/04/2026
Comm. Gray said when Attorney Harkinson drafted the city charter he mirrored what was in the RSA
at the time. The RSA was amended to put the staff in. There is an argument for making them constables
because the word says we have control over them. I’m perfectly willing to take out the words ex officio and
make them just constables, Mayor.
Comm. Stevens asked, is there anything in there that says a constable is animal control or parking.
Maybe you can infer that, but I haven’t seen that.
Comm. Gray said the statutes listed a whole bunch of things that a constable can do. Motor vehicle,
animal control and several other things. Those are duties of constables. If they are serving a writ or a warrant
it had to be less than $75. Posting the warrant at the polling places would be one of the things they can do.
Comm. Stevens asked for final thoughts before closing this discussion. He noted that he commits to
reaching out to the City Manager to start this discussion. To possibly get an updated legal opinion, newer
than thirty years. He said, the whole commission is part of this process, it won’t be the Chair doing all the
work.
Comm. Gray said I’m not saying the statute or the charter gives you control over the staff. If you
adopted the policy that is here it would be in accordance with what the city charter says and in accordance
with what is already existing in RSA 106B. You would have control over the staff because the city charter
says constables and you would call them constables.
Comm. Stevens said this is an important debate. I’m not sure the Police Commission needs control
over the staff. They fall under something else with merit plans etc. I’m not sure we need day-to-day control.
Chief Boudreau interjected with “they do fall under something else.” Under RSA105-2A Police
Chiefs; Powers “each chief of police, superintendent of police, or city marshal of any city or town who is
appointed rather than elected, shall have authority to direct and control all employees of his or her
department in their normal course of duty and shall be responsible for the efficient and economical use of all
department equipment.” That specifically gives me the authority, the day-to-day authority over operations.
Comm. Gray asked does it say “hire and fire…”
Chief Boudreau said no.
Comm. Gray asked does it say, “set rules and regulations for the government of...”
Chief Boudreau said no.
Comm. Gray said so in the City Charter, those things are reserved for the Police Commission.
Chief Boudreau said even though dispatchers, parking, animal control and evidence don’t fall under
Commission, they fall under mine.
Comm. Gray said as discussed previously two Commissioners are a quorum and can’t have these
discussions outside of a meeting as it would violate RSA 91A. We need to look at the Rochester Police
Department and see if there’s other positions that would not be sworn officers but can be done by other
people and reduce the cost to the Department because you are having difficulty getting sworn officers
anyway.
* Rochester Police Commission: 03/04/2026
This is not an effort to break the budget. I’m trying to follow the plain reading of the City Charter.
The MOU doesn’t follow the plain reading of the City Charter. You [the commission] have abdicated your
responsibility once you throw that budget over the fence into Kate’s office. According to that MOU you no
longer have any control over it at all. In the ten years that I spent on the City Council I think the Police
Commission testified maybe twice out of the ten years. Did we follow what they said? Not really. That’s not
what the charter says. Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa. I was part of that.
Comm. Stevens said I appreciate the discussion. Comm. Gray and I have some differences of
opinion.
This concluded the discussion on the MOU. The City Manager and Mayor left the meeting at 8:20
P.M.
5. NEW BUSINESS
A. Oath of Office – Hiring
1. Vanessa Simms
Chief Boudreau introduced Officer Simms and provided some background information about her. She
is NH certified. Sr. Executive Assistant Warburton administered the oath to Officer Simms.
B. Annual Awards 2025.
The annual awards for Support of the Year, Officer of the Year, and the Chief Theodore Blair, Jr.
Memorial award, were presented. Members are nominated for these awards by their peers. Awardees were
presented with plaques noting this achievement. The Blair family was on hand to assist with the Memorial
Award. Those selected were:
Support Person of the Year 2025: Ed Cilley, Evidence Technician
Police Officer of the Year 2025: Officer Tiana Adams
Chief Theodore Blair, Jr. Memorial Award: Detective Justin Livingstone
A brief recess was called. The meeting returned to session at 7:30 P.M.
B. Monthly Reports.
1. Operations: Captain Aucoin noted that patrol had responded to approximately 1960 calls for service
this period. There were no concerning trends. Although there was an increase in fraud-related calls, still there
were no trends. Proactive traffic enforcement there were 355 traffic stops.
Over in support the Cadets had some training at the range.
Comm. Stevens asked how many we have in the program. Chief Boudreau responded roughly 15
cadets in the program currently. There have been cadets who have gone on to become police officers or
moved into other roles connected. It’s a good program for our youth.
The School Resource Officers have been busy teaching LEAD classes. We held our final Teen night
of this school year in February. There were 120 in attendance.
* Rochester Police Commission: 03/04/2026
In Communications we have one candidate in the final background review and hope this brings us to
full staff. There was a webinar for dispatch on responding to hoaxing and swatting calls, which is essentially
a false call that commands an immediate response.
2. Administrative. Dep. Chief Swanberry advised that all budget lines are where we should be at this
time of the year. Our projection looks good.
Officer Newberg is in phase three of field training. Officer Palladino and Officer Demo are in Phase
1. The recruits at the academy are progressing and have completed 8 weeks.
Officer Simms and Officer Mosto were hired within a week of each other, and we anticipate them
moving through the training program together. Some of the training they have had, such as firearms, use of
force, taser, defensive tactics, but we’ve found it important as we bring on officers to have a refresh of that
training.
At the time of this report, we had five open positions with three candidates in the background
process.
C. Other.
1. Skate with a First Responder. We will be holding the annual skating event, previously called skate
with a cop to now be skate with a first responder. This will be followed by a round robin hockey tournament
with teams represented by Dover, Rochester, Spaulding High Alumni and the Veteran group Skatefor22
Organization. It’s free and it’s fun. Come join us on Sunday March 8 at the Rochester Ice Arena.

MINUTES OF THE POLICE COMMISSION MEETING

2. PUBLIC COMMENT
David Camire – Continental Blvd. Spoke to the Police Commission and Department on his and
the surrounding neighborhood opposition to SOS Recovery relocating to 161-165 Rochester Hill Road.
He noted the consensus of the neighborhood is this will further attract crime (thefts), disorder, littering,
and trespassing; as well as the safety issue the area is not well lit, and for clientele crossing the street to
access the COAST bus. We are not immune to the drug problem. If this is approved, I’m requesting
that the first month of their opening that directed patrols be conducted of the neighborhood every
couple of hours, to include the woods formerly known as the Champlin Forest to ensure there aren’t
encampments. There’s 200 acres there. He doesn’t feel the harm reduction and needle exchange
program works as much as it enables. He is not opposed to peer counseling. He encouraged people to
watch the broadcast of the Planning Board meeting from February 2, 2026.
3. ACCEPTANCE OF MINUTES:
A. January 7 and January 26, 2026
Comm. Gray MOVED to accept the minutes of the January 7, 2026, and January 26,
2026, meetings as submitted. Comm. Winship SECONDED the motion. The motion to
accept the minutes as presented PASSED unanimously.
4. OLD AND UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
There was no unfinished business for discussion.
Rochester Police Commission: 02/04/2026
5. NEW BUSINESS
A. Oath of Office – Hiring
1. Trevor Demo
2. Jonathan Mosto
Chief Boudreau introduced the two new officers and provided some background information
about them. Both are previously NH certified officers.
Sr. Executive Assistant Warburton administered the oaths to each officer.
A brief recess was called.
The meeting returned to session at 7:31 P.M.
B. Monthly Reports.
1. Operations. Captain Pinkham noted in the charts’ provided activity has been consistent with
prior months and there are no concerning trends. Some of the more serious crimes we are down in
several of those categories. Traffic enforcement is down compared to the same period last month but a
lot of that has to do with weather and staffing and available proactive time.
Comm. Stevens commented that he knows it’s a small snapshot but there were 100 motor
vehicle crashes compared to 67 in 2025.
These numbers can be attributed to weather and road conditions. Not all are reportable
accidents, some are just off the road, but an officer still responds to assess scene and provide safety
coverage for wreckers. This is all tied to staff time.
Comm. Stevens said we still see a high number of parking lot accidents.
Chief Boudreau concurred that we do. Some are related to parking lot design and some to
people’s driving. Even when property damage appears small it can generate a significant repair cost.
In support those numbers are right in line with prior months. There are no concerns or trends
and nothing out of the ordinary.
The January teen night was well attended. We are still planning for the Winterfest at the
commons on Saturday February 21, 1-3 P.M. It was postponed from an earlier date due to brutally cold
weather.
The high school resource officer is completing normal duties and teaching LEAD.
Communications are still hiring for one open position. This is an ongoing battle to maintain full
staffing; however, current staffing is the highest it has been, consistently, for quite some time.
2. Administrative. Dep. Chief Swanberry said we are well into the FY27 budget process. All
our requests have been entered. We presented our CIP requests to that committee on January 24.
Rochester Police Commission: 02/04/2026
Comm. Gray inquired if there were any significant questions they asked during that
presentation on our submissions.
Chief Boudreau replied there weren’t significant questions. But there was discussion on vehicle
requests. I expect and was told to expect more questions on vehicles during the budget process.
Dep Chief Swanberry said there were two significant purchases this period both installment
payments for Tasers and for Cloud data storage for body cameras.
Both Sgt. Gantert and Sgt Downs had a two-week in-house field training which they
successfully completed prior to moving to their assigned shifts.
Highlighting some of the training completed during this period:
Officer Keven Miller, Officer Zachary Vatcher, and Detective Alexander Howardkoppes
completed part one of the Control and Arrest Tactics Instructor Recertification course at Police
Standards. Under the new format from Police Standards and Training, all three officers are not only
recertified in defensive tactics but are also certified instructors in the expandable baton and oleoresin
capsicum (OC). Officer Miller completed part 2 of the recertification course; the other officers will
complete the second part later.
Officer Patrick Costin attended a 2-day “Interview and Interrogations.” Officer Tiana Adams
attended “Basic Crime Scene Investigations.”
Officer Newberg advanced to phase 3 of field training. Officer Palladino is in phase 1 of field
training. The Academy recruits are progressing and expected to graduate in April.
As of this report, we have five full-time openings with five candidates in background. One of
them holds NH certification.
C. Other.
1. Budget. Chief Boudreau expanded on the Dep. Chief’s report that we had presented our CIP
budget requests to that committee on January 24. We will present our OM and issues and options to the
City Manager and Finance on February 13. That is the first step of that phase of the budget prior to
advancing to the Council after the City Manager prepares her budget.
2. Senate Bill. Comm. Gray noted that there is a bill before the senate that redefines duties of
Police Commission’s. Rochester is not constituted under that RSA because it is part of the City
Charter. This gives the police commission the task of determining how many officers and their
compensation and also gives the council the purview over the budget. In the past there was a
memorandum of agreement that dates to City Manager Fitzpatrick. This needs to be reviewed and
depending on what happens in Concord it may be advantageous for us to revise it or further look at the
Charter. If not on the agenda next month, it should be done soon.
Comm. Stevens added that the revised Code of Ethics was adopted by the Council at the
February 3, 2026, meeting. Comm. Gray commented that the signature page just acknowledges that the
Police Commission received it. He will sign this tonight and read the policy at his leisure.
Rochester Police Commission: 02/04/2026

RSA 91-A: 3, paragraph II, section A (personnel) and section E (legal). Comm. Gray

Police Department Service Calls – 1959
Police Reports generated – 352
• Arrest reports – 98

There were no concerning trends noticed during this reporting period. Some of the
Calls for Service with higher percent changes can be misleading as the difference in
the total number of calls is small.
Fraud related calls have increased compared this same time period last year, however
that has been a trend for the past year.
The two Robbery calls for service stemmed from one suspect during one night and an
arrest was made in those cases.
