Patrolman Latvis, it has been 67 years since you were taken from us. I have many friends who retired from, or are still with the Nashua Police, and what a fine and progressive agency it has become. You would be proud.

New Hampshire law enforcement has continued to thrive, learn and become safer due to the traditions and sacrifices you, your family, and many others have made for us. Thank you for your 4 years of law enforcement service.
