City Of Concord Names Moulton Police Chief After Interim Service

CONCORD, NH — The city of Concord has named Barrett J. Moulton as the next chief of the Concord Police Department, effective Monday.

Moulton has served as interim chief since January 2026, after Chief Bradley Osgood retired earlier this year.

Moulton brings more than 27 years of law enforcement experience to the role.

He grew up in New Hampshire's Lakes Region, attended Northeastern University, and joined the Concord Police Department in 2006 after serving as a police officer and sergeant with the town of Loudon.

During his time in Concord, Moulton served in several assignments, including patrol officer; detective with the Concord Police Drug Enforcement Unit and the New Hampshire Attorney General's Drug Task Force; and detective in the department's Youth Services Unit. He was promoted to deputy chief in 2022.

In 2024, he was assigned to the department's Bureau of Support Services, where he oversaw the Criminal Investigations Division, Community Services Unit, and Police Social Worker Unit, according to the release.

“Concord is a great community, and I am honored to have this opportunity,” he said. “The Concord Police Department has some of the most dedicated and talented officers and civilian staff in the state, who work diligently each day to provide the best service to our community. I look forward to collaborating with this incredible team as we move forward.”

Moulton also thanked city residents, expressing gratitude to those who continue to show strong support for the department.

“The community support is what makes the Capitol City such a great place,” Moulton said.

City Manager Tom Aspell said he and others were “proud of the Concord Police Department and the stellar level of service they provide to the community every day (and) we know that commitment will continue under Chief Moulton’s leadership.”
