THREE NEW HAMPSHIRE POLICE OFFICERS STRUCK IN THREE WEEKS

Three local police officers have been hit by vehicles in the past three weeks while they were standing in the street working. Police said that on Saturday, a driver hit an officer in Amherst who was making a traffic stop. The day before, a Hampstead officer was struck while working a construction site. Late last month, Derry Officer Robert Moore was knocked down by a driver who police said was drunk.

Moore is still recovering from his injuries. Authorities stated that he was wearing what he should be, plus more. The officer is reported to have had white gloves to help be seen, as well.

Many officers said that they've had some near misses, either during traffic stops or during construction details. They said that the main problem is driver inattention.
