#MIDDLEBURY #POLICE
Following the tragic killings of police officers in Dallas, Texas, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Middlebury residents let their police officers know they are appreciated. Acting Police Chief Fran Dabbo said residents sent officers a couple of meat platters, a bagel basket and some other food items, along with cards thanking officers for their service. In addition, the Rev. Dennis J. Vincenzo of St. John of the Cross has offered prayers and counseling.
Speaking on behalf of the men and women of the Middlebury Police Department, sworn and civilian, Dabbo thanked the caring, generous residents of Middlebury for their thoughts and prayers during this dark time for the police profession and our nation in general.
Dabbo said, “As police officers we all to often see only the bad side of what our society has to offer, and we can forget that even though there is plenty of ‘bad’ to go around, fortunately, there is still more good! We, the Middlebury Police Department, consider it to be an honor to serve in this fine community.”
