About Us

Located on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, the Town of Meredith is a vibrant and welcoming community known for its natural beauty, small-town charm, and year-round activity.

Meredith offers a unique blend of scenic landscapes and lively community life. In the summer months, the population grows as visitors flock to enjoy boating, waterfront dining, and events along the town docks. In the fall, the area transforms with classic New England foliage, while winter brings ice fishing, snowmobiling, and cozy lakeside experiences.

The downtown area, including the popular Mill Falls Marketplace, features locally owned shops, restaurants, and gathering spaces that contribute to a strong sense of community. Residents and visitors alike value Meredith for its safety, quality of life, and close-knit feel.

For officers, this means policing in an environment where community relationships truly matter. You’ll interact with a diverse population—from year-round residents and local business owners to seasonal visitors—making each day dynamic and engaging.

Meredith is more than just a place to work—it’s a place where people choose to live, visit, and return to year after year.
