Beryl,
The information you have requested is published on the Town's web-site at Annual Town Reports | Moultonborough NH<https://www.moultonboroughnh.gov/board-selectmen/pages/annual-town-reports> and the University of NH website at Digital Collections | Library (unh.edu)<https://library.unh.edu/digitalcollections/search/digital/%2A%3A%2A?f%5B0%5D=category%3ANH%20Cities%20%26%20Towns/Moultonborough%2A>. These site contain the Town Reports from 2000 through 2020 including the police annual report and the Town's budget information including the police department.
Any additional information you've requested would require creating new documents as we do not record demographic data on personnel or individuals employed in a position of leadership. However, there have been five chiefs since 2000, all white males.
