To the Editor:
The Cheshire Human Services
Committee would like to comment on the excellent job recently done by Deputy
Chief, Joe Popovich, of the Cheshire Police Department, the Cheshire Fire
Department and Campion Ambulance Corps during the Special Needs At Risk Awareness
Day. Their presentations were well thought out, informative, interesting and
enjoyable for all that attended. Special needs individuals from all over town
were informed about the duties of police officers and firefighters, given
safety tips, and experienced what it’s like to sit in a police car, fire truck
and ambulance.
The turnout was larger than
anticipated but there were plenty of police officers on hand to accommodate all
of the attendees. All of the parents were very impressed with the program and the
professional manner in which this event was presented.
We can’t say enough about the
dedication shown by the Police and Fire Departments. They made this program work for
A great big thank you goes out to
all who took the time to put together such a great event!
