Odd, since Exeter doesn’t have a police department.

They sure are, but you said Exeter. Implying the Exeter PD was doing that, which is non existent.

If you meant the RISP, you would have said the State Police from the beginning, but you were wrong and now you’re trying to make it seem like you were right.

Exeter is possibly getting its own PD though, as it’s been entertained a few times during town council meetings. I hope they do.

Ah yes, the Exeter State Police. Also known as the RISP.

The state PD that operate within the town of Exeter only do so for dispatched calls. So a B&E, assault, larceny, etc. if they’re not doing exactly that; they’re just normal state PD.

No RISP Trooper is assigned to operate for the town of Exeter like how the CT SP do with their town Troopers. So you’re just complaining about RISP being RISP, who are notorious for being heavy handed everywhere.

And the Charlestown issue was ‘16 or ‘17, not COVID.

It was mentioned a few times by a retired cop who used to sit on the town council. Nobody else thinks this is a good idea. Crime is almost non-existent in Exeter. Why do you hope for this?

Because I’d rather have a consistent police force instead of whomever is working for the RISP. As they move to different barracks and are promoted, you’ll just get the latest group of fresh Troopers to replace them.

Where as with a local department, you’ll have consistency with its force. You’ll develop relationships and knowledge of the town and its people.

Like having your local beat cop who knows everyone and knows who does what.
