  • President

Dawn Sawyer retired from the Greenland Police Department as a decorated police Lieutenant. A resident of the Seacoast area, Dawn currently works as an investigator for the Federal government. Dawn grew up in Londonderry, NH, (when it was more apple orchards than businesses) and began her career in law enforcement in 1993 at the North Hampton Police Department, with Chief Maloney as her Sergeant. There, she obtained the position of Detective and then department prosecutor. In 1995, Dawn came to Greenland as a patrol officer and was promoted to Lieutenant. Dawn is a resident of Stratham and can often be found playing chauffer to her teen daughter's many activities. She volunteers for three dog rescue groups, specializing in German Shepherds and she still finds time to her ride her horse. Dawn brings a down-to-earth sense of community and a deep knowledge of outreach programs to the Chief Michael Maloney Memorial Fund.
