Exeter Chiefs of Police
Exeter residents George and Judy Dufour have worked very hard to provide us with a list of all of Exeter Chiefs of Police dating back to 1889. They are also working on identifying all deceased Exeter officers buried at the Exeter cemetery to enable us to honor them at events throughout the year. A big thanks to them for the time and great effort they've put into this project!
