A Note from Capt. In our ever changing world, the investigation of crime has proved to be a dynamic process. It seeks to develop and maintain a quality of life, protect social and physical environments, safeguard producers and consumers, and, to some extent, even preserve global sanity. The Keene Police Detective is no longer merely a localized law enforcement officer focusing his or her entire efforts upon street thugs who commit the violent crimes such as robbery, rape, or murder. Instead, we are an integral part of a process for achieving justice that is available to all facets of the population.
Investigation now reaches into the white collar board rooms and the offices of public officials.
It uncovers illegal business practices, government improprieties and even exposes consumer fraud. While the community has been beset with serious challenges that threaten our civilized way of life, Keene's' police have continued to answer the call to preserve peace, protect life and property against attack by criminals, the careless, and the inadvertent offender. Keene's law enforcement officers follow a proud tradition of community service and protection that is traced to pioneer days. Our officers serve all people with respect, fairness and compassion. We hold ourselves to the very highest standards of ethics and are committed to enhancing the quality of life in Keene.
