Chief of Police John E. Markland

I began my career in law enforcement in 1985 as a Dispatcher with the Newport, N. H. Police Department.  In 1986, I became a part-time Police Officer, then a full-time Police Officer with Newport.  While working there, I also was the department's K-9 Unit.  In 1988, I relocated to the Gilford Police Department.  I have worked as a Patrol Officer, Youth Services Officer, DARE Officer, Corporal, Sergeant, and Lieutenant.  I am a graduate of the New England Institute of Law Enforcement Management and FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia.  My interests include golf, motorcycling, music, and NASCAR.
