3 Londonderry Police Department Lt. Timothy Jones will be retiring this June after a career that started with the Londonderry Police Department on May 4, During his time at LPD, Lt. Jones served as a School Resource Officer, Detective, Sergeant, Detective Sergeant, and Lieutenant in both the Patrol and the Services Divisions. He also served six years in the United States Navy. Lt. Jones retirement is truly bittersweet, as he will be sincerely missed around the station, but he is also well deserving of a long and enjoyable retirement. Lt.

People can dispose of any of their drugs and medication, as well as other items, with no questions asked. You will not need to speak with anyone and it is completely anonymous.

These specially colored and labeled 30-gallon trash bags can be filled with your excess trash and placed on the ground beside your regular trash barrel. They will be collected at the same time your trash barrel is emptied.
