Fitzwilliam, located in the
Monadnock region, is a historic community with a population of
approximately 2150 residents. Fitzwilliam plays host to a
number of small businesses, antique shops, lumber mills, and
restaurants. Established in 1773, Fitzwilliam once boomed with
granite quarries and also supplied markets with blueberries.
These commodities were shipped by rail up until 1960. The Fitzwilliam Police Department was established in 1974 as a full time agency. We currently have a staff of five officers, a secretary/dispatcher, and animal control services. The officers are either full or part time and serve to protect the community by enforcing the laws, community policing efforts, crime prevention education, and safety awareness. Citizens are encouraged to report suspicious activity, violations of law, and safety concerns |
