Police Department Compliments and Employee Awards

The usual types of private sector rewards are not available, and sometimes not appropriate for governmental employees. All too often outstanding performance goes unrecognized and unrewarded in public sector employees.  The Police Department takes the necessary measures to ensure that an outstanding employee’s performance is recognized and rewarded.

If you would like to acknowledge a job well done by any of the department’s personnel please contact Chief Scott Lane at 603.485.9173 or via e-mail at slane@pembroke-nh.com
