🚨 NEW SCHOOL ZONE – SOUTH MAIN STREET / CARPENTER SCHOOL 🚨

With the start of the new school year, the Wolfeboro Police Department wants motorists to be aware of a NEW SCHOOL ZONE on South Main Street in the area of Carpenter School.

⚠️ SCHOOL ZONE SPEED LIMIT: 20 MPH

The 20 MPH school-zone speed limit is in effect from 0810 before school starts and starts again after dismissal until 1610.

This is a newly established school zone, so drivers who regularly travel South Main Street may not be accustomed to the reduced speed limit. Please pay close attention to the new signs, reduce your speed, and be prepared for increased pedestrian and vehicle traffic associated with school arrival and dismissal.

As students return to school, we ask everyone to:

• Slow down to 20 MPH when the school zone is in effect
• Watch carefully for children, pedestrians, crossing activity, and vehicles entering or exiting the area
• Avoid distractions and keep your attention on the roadway
• Allow yourself a little extra travel time during school arrival and dismissal

Our goal is simple — keep our students, families, school staff, and motorists safe.

Please help us spread the word by sharing this post, especially with anyone who regularly travels South Main Street.

Thanks to our Public Works for the assistance!!!

Officer Aaron W**d
Wolfeboro Police Department

Aaron,

Let this letter serve to commend you on your actions taken on August 12, 2026, while on duty for the Town of Wolfeboro.

Just prior to 4pm, information was received regarding a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed toward Huggins Hospital due to an occupant experiencing a medical emergency involving a severe laceration with life-threatening blood loss. You located the vehicle and when it stopped on Center Street, you immediately exited your cruiser, made contact with the patient, and utilized your department-issued tourniquet to control the bleeding. You continued providing assistance until fire/rescue and medical personnel arrived on scene and assumed patient care. The individual was subsequently transported to Huggins Hospital for further medical treatment.

Your actions demonstrate the importance of the training provided to our officers and, equally important, an officer’s ability to remain prepared and effectively apply that training when confronted with an emergency. You quickly recognized the seriousness of the situation, utilized the lifesaving equipment available to you, and provided immediate medical intervention until additional emergency medical resources arrived.

While assisting those in need is an important part of our responsibilities as police officers, I believe your actions in this incident went above and beyond what is expected of our police officers. Your willingness to intervene immediately and properly use a tourniquet to control significant bleeding reflects positively on you and the Wolfeboro Police Department.

Therefore, I am formally recognizing you for your actions and that this Letter of Recognition be placed in your personnel file documenting your performance during this incident.

Your actions are an excellent example of why we train, why officers carry lifesaving medical equipment, and the positive impact an officer can have when that training and equipment are needed most.

Sincerely and with gratitude,

Christopher Warn, Chief of Police
Wolfeboro Police Department
