Hooksett-Community-Leaders_Awardees_Jake-RobieCongratulations 🎉🎊 to Captain Jake Robie, Hooksett’s 2024 Municipal Employee of the Year!

Captain Robie has been a dedicated employee of the Hooksett Police Department since 2001. For the past 6 years he has held the primary duty of organizing the Department’s National Night Out. He spends countless hours working with municipal and civic groups and volunteers to ensure a successful event for community members to enjoy, at no cost to them.

This past year, he was instrumental in facilitating the membership of the Hooksett Police Department and the Hooksett Community into the Concord Regional Crime Line. This organization promotes community education and awareness of criminal activities in order to deter and prevent their occurrence.

Service…

Captain Robie recognizes the importance of visibility and participation in Community Events both to show support as well as a safety concern and he volunteers for several Community Events including, Winter Carnival, Election/Voting dates and also at the Kiwanis Community Leaders Event at the Southern New Hampshire University.

Recruitment and Training of Officers…

Captain Robie is in charge of recruitment, which in this day and age is extremely difficult, but he stays innovative, and they have found several candidates based on his effort to think outside the box to draw qualified candidates.

Recognizing the importance of mental and physical health and wellness for Hooksett Police Department employees, Captain Robie was instrumental in creating the Department’s first CISM (Critical Incident Stress Management) team. He is confident, trustworthy and reliable. He has devoted nearly his entire adult life to the Town of Hooksett and the Hooksett Police Department beginning his career at just 19 years old as a college intern.

Below is a quote from Corri Wilson who is one of three members of the Concord Regional Crime Line team in Hooksett…

“The Crime Line board awards up to two grants annually to member Police Departments to support a variety of training and equipment expenses. Captain Robie did all the necessary paperwork and submitted an application in 2023, resulting in a grant for $2,500, the maximum award possible.” The grant monies were used to purchase outer carry for the officers. His efforts resulted in better protection for the officers and our community is better served.

If you’d like to join Captain Robie and his family, friends and colleagues to congratulate him at this year’s Hooksett Kiwanis Community Leaders Awards Banquet on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, at Southern New Hampshire University, learn more at https://bit.ly/Hooksett-Community-Leaders-2024
