Public Announcement/Reminder: Police Coverage
The Town of Canaan is contracted with the Essex County Sheriff's Department. If you need to report a crime or suspicious activity, please call 802-676-3500 or the Vermont State Police at 802-334-8881. These are the only two agencies that cover Canaan. Please do not call the surrounding towns' police departments, i.e., Colebrook or Pittsburg Police Departments, to report a crime. Of course, if it is an emergency situation, always Dial 911.

Canaan Police Department Disbanded
As many of you know, with the resignation of long time police chief Jeffrey Noyes, the Canaan Police Department has been disbanded.  The Town of Canaan no longer employs law enforcement agents.  All police matters are contracted with the Essex County Sheriff's Department.  To reach them Monday through Friday 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM call 802-676-3500.  For any incidents not during those business hours call the Vermont State Police 802-334-8881.
