OSSIPEE — The town of Ossipee is denying claims in federal court by a woman who served as police officer until being fired in 2018.
Kimberly Hatch of Madison is suing the town for sexual harassment and discrimination because she is a woman. She is demanding $2.1 million. Hatch worked for the department from November 2012-October 2018.
I agree with Kat. None of these actions would be tolerated in the private sector.
The taxpayers in small town NH need to stop paying for excess officers and start insisting on quality over quantity. The money left over could fund critical social services like social workers to address the impacts of the opioid crisis.
This type of behavior, and the individuals who practice it affects us all, not just Ms. Hatch. It appears that "pranks" like this get those involved promoted, and the subjects fired.
With 14 officers listed for a town of 4500 what do you expect?
They all have to little to do and the force should have been cut in half a long time ago. This sort of behavior would never be tolerated for 10 minutes in the private sector. Too many cops in one place. All unprofessional. They are all guilty of participating or allowing this behavior to go on in broad daylight. Just admitted "pranks" alone should tell you the low quality and IQ's of all the officers. Not ONE of the men seemed to find this stuff reprehensible, childish and unprofessional. All of it.
Keep it Clean. Please avoid obscene, vulgar, lewd,
racist or sexually-oriented language. PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK. Don't Threaten. Threats of harming another
person will not be tolerated. Be Truthful. Don't knowingly lie about anyone
or anything. Be Nice. No racism, sexism or any sort of -ism
that is degrading to another person. Be Proactive. Use the 'Report' link on

Disgraceful abuse of taxpayers.
