‘Operation Granite Safe’ Nets 17 Accused Of DUI On I-89, Route 202-9: New Hampshire State Police Roundup

CONCORD, NH — New Hampshire 911 has been recognized for the seventh time as an Accredited Center of Excellence for emergency medical dispatching, according to the New Hampshire Department of Safety.

The designation was awarded by the International Academies of Emergency Dispatch (IAED) to the Department of Safety’s Division of Emergency Services and Communications. The state became the 30th Accredited Center of Excellence through the International Academy of Emergency Dispatch in 1999. IAED is the standard-setting organization for emergency dispatch services worldwide, according to the department. It said accreditation and reaccreditation are the highest distinction given to emergency communication centers, and certify that a center is performing at or above established industry standards.

In 2025, the Division of Emergency Services and Communications answered 435,580 emergency calls. Nearly 99 percent of those calls were answered within the first 10 seconds of connecting. The department said centers that earn ACE status demonstrate strong local oversight, rigorous quality processes, and a commitment to data-driven continuous improvement.

Operation Granite Safe Yields 17 DUI Arrests

A multi-agency traffic enforcement effort conducted on selected dates over the past three months resulted in 17 arrests for driving under the influence along the U.S. 202, Route 9, and Interstate 89 corridor, state police said.

Through a partnership with the New Hampshire Office of Highway Safety, state troopers, Merrimack and Hillsborough county sheriff’s deputies, and officers from Hillsboro, Henniker, and Hopkinton police departments carried out Operation Granite Safe. The effort aimed to deter, detect, and remove impaired drivers from New Hampshire roads.

Troopers, deputies, and officers made a total of 651 traffic stops, according to the announcement. Those stops resulted in 106 citations and 565 warnings. In addition to the 17 DUI arrests, another 19 people were arrested for other various violations.

Pedestrian Killed After Crash On Route 25E

A man died March 31 after he was struck by a vehicle on U.S. Route 25E in Ossipee, state police said.

Just before 8:30 p.m., a Jeep Cherokee driven by Carol Mathes, 79, of Tamworth, was traveling westbound on Route 25E when the vehicle struck a man who was walking in the road, according to a report. First responders arrived and determined the pedestrian was dead. Mathes cooperated with the investigation, and no charges have been filed at this time, according to state police. Because of the severity of the crash, the State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit responded to the scene and took the lead on the investigation. Assistance at the scene came from the Carroll County Sheriff's Office, Ossipee Police Department, Freedom Police Department and Ossipee Fire Department.
