Wolfeboro's police chief told the Select Board on June 12 that a nationally coordinated, peaceful protest is scheduled for June 14 and that he is preparing an operational plan that preserves constitutional rights and public safety.

The chief said he has confirmed that the group will be on public property and acknowledged the department's limited staff levels. He told the board he has reached out to neighboring towns, the county sheriff and state police to arrange mutual‑aid support if needed. He also said organizers told him they would provide a contact to receive any town invoices if the event generates additional municipal expenses.

"If they're gonna be peaceful, I'm all about it," the chief said, adding that the department's larger concern is potential counter‑protest activity. The chief said he will prioritize protecting civil rights while maintaining safety and that he will avoid "over‑policing" lawful demonstrations. He encouraged the board to raise any scheduling or resourcing concerns so the police could coordinate a consistent approach.

Officials noted that Conway and other nearby towns may expect larger crowds and that some private property owners (one example named: Brewster) have indicated they will not allow demonstrations on their property. The chief said he will be present at the event and that details such as any special details or overtime will be coordinated as needed.
