And, Glen Drewniak, former Police Officer of Newbury NH, and current Police Officer of Bradford, NH, has said, “I can think of no better person for that position than Chief James Valiquet.

He hired me when I started my Law Enforcement career in 2000, he is a fair and equitable leader who puts the welfare of his employees and the citizens he serves above his own. Over that past 20 years that I have known him he has helped me navigate some difficult times both personally and professionally even when I was not working for him.
