The Sunapee Police Department is pleased to announce that Officer John Niederriter was ceremonially sworn-in as a part-time police officer for the Town of Sunapee during the Selectboard meeting on Monday, July 6th.
Officer Niederriter brings a wealth of law enforcement and public service experience to the department. A veteran of the United States Coast Guard, he previously served as a full-time police officer with the Sutton Police Department before relocating to Florida, where he continued his law enforcement career with the St. Augustine Police Department. Having now moved back to New Hampshire, Officer Niederriter now joins Sunapee PD, bringing with him years of law enforcement experience and a strong commitment to public service. Officer Niederriter also holds a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice from Franklin Pierce University.
Because Officer Niederriter was already a certified police officer with prior law enforcement experience, his onboarding process will require significantly less training than that of a newly certified recruit. This allows him to begin serving the community more quickly while reducing both the time and cost associated with hiring and training.
Officer Niederriter's appointment fills one of three vacant part-time police officer positions within the Sunapee Police Department. The department continues to recruit qualified candidates to strengthen its ability to provide professional, community-focused policing to the residents and visitors of Sunapee.
The Sunapee Police Department congratulates Officer Niederriter on his appointment and we look forward to his service to the Town of Sunapee.
