Bicycle Helmets Available
The Henniker Police Department received a grant from the NH Highway Safety Agency for bicycle helmets to be given to children in the community that may not have a helmet or have outdated helmets.
If you are in need of a helmet, please ask any officer, or contact us at the police station and a helmet will be provided to you free of charge.
NH State Law requires children under the age of 16 to wear helmets. We strive to keep our young people safe.
