The City of Portsmouth, NH is consistently rated as one of the top ten places in America to live and raise a family. The Police Department is proud of the fact that our contribution to Portsmouth’s superior quality of life and relatively low crime rate plays a significant role in this determination.

The City of Portsmouth is located on New Hampshire’s Seacoast, midway between Portland, Maine and Boston, Massachusetts. History abounds in Portsmouth and the city is rich in architectural heritage. This heritage is probably best exemplified by Strawbery Banke, a living maritime community museum, and by Portsmouth’s picturesque landscape and architecture. Portsmouth is also home to approximately 30,000 people, major industry, an international airport, and a strong economy.
