Joint training with the Harbormaster’s office staff and the boat operators from Harwich Fire.

Harbormaster Harker has spearheaded training our boat operators to a standard necessary for response into the waters of Harwich. This collaborative effort works well for Harwich to ensure there are qualified personnel available day and night to respond to any emergency on the water.

Both departments will continue to develop this joint effort to provide the best level of service for Harwich and the surrounding waters.

Very sad news on the passing of Bobby Knott. From his beginnings at Harwich Police to his career at the Massachusetts State Police, Bob was a true professional and friend.

Our thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.

Celebrate the life of Robert Knott, leave a kind word or memory and get funeral service information care of Hodges Funeral Home At Naples Memorial Gardens.
