Strafford County Emergency Management
This is an official page of Strafford County Government. As a unit of the Sheriff's Office our mission is to provide all hazard response, mitigation, and planning. This is not monitored 24/7. For emergencies, dial or text 911.
NWS Gray Doppler Radar was taken down this morning and will be down for the next 2 to 3 days for necessary and routine upgrades. This was scheduled maintenance and just happened to coincide with the return of rain. We will still have radar overlap from our surrounding radars, and we are not expecting any severe weather during this time. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience.
Its with a heavy heart that today we say goodbye to K9 Jasper, a loyal bloodhound and cherished member of our team, until 2022, when Lt Kerkensen retired from the Sheriff’s Office, to pursue his law enforcement career with the NH Police Standards and Training Council. Jasper wasn’t just a K9, he was family, a guardian, a partner, and a symbol of unwavering dedication. His service to the Sheriff’s Office and our community will never be forgotten. We honor his legacy and the lives he touched. Rest easy Jasper, you’ve earned it. Good Boy.
