We will then ask the students to have a topic that they would like to discuss. This will introduce students to our officers and officers to our students. Other municipalities are interested in adopting this program. • Had several snow events in the past month; the Police Department has helped the DPW with the removal process. I want to thank all our residents for their patience and understanding. Also want to thank the DPW staff and the Police Officers for their relentless work during these storms. • We currently have 72 active cases of Covid-19, which is a substantial decrease.
