Car Seat Inspection
Vermont laws require that infants and children ride in approved child safety and booster seats. Parents can bring their car seats to Stowe Police Department where our NHTSA-trained officer will ensure that they are installed and adjusted correctly. Call us for an appointment.  Bicycle Rodeo
Each summer Stowe police officers attend the Stowe Recreation Program's Bike Rodeo, inspecting bikes, teaching traffic safety, helping young riders improve their skills, and educating parents on safety. Watch our Events page for the date and time of the Bicycle Rodeo. Hunter Safety Education Each fall Stowe police officers teach the Vermont Hunter Education course to youth and new hunters. This course is required for anyone who is new to rifle, bow, and muzzleloading hunting. Attendees are taught firearms safety, respect for game and landowners, survival skills, and basic marksmanship. The time
and dates will be posted on our Events page.
 Santa Program
Each Christmas Eve the Stowe Police Department sponsors the Santa Program. For over 30 years Santas and their elves delivered toys to residents and tourists who wanted a visit from Santa. A few years ago the Santas also started delivering baskets to area elderly and home-bound residents. The program grew so much over the years that it not only received national attention on Good Morning America (see our Archives Page), but it took six Santas many hours to deliver all the goodies on Christmas Eve. This year it was decided that the department will continue with just the basket giving. Every Dec. 24 a group of volunteers puts together about 70 baskets which two Santas and their elves deliver that night.
Speakers and Seminars
Stowe police officers are expert in many fields and in many areas of law enforcement. If your group or organization would like to host a seminar in areas including bad check identification, classroom safety, self-defense, home security, firearms safety, and avoiding online fraud, please contact us.
