Officers Commend for Exceptional Duty:
At the October 26th Selectboard meeting, Sergeant Maffeo, and Officers Pollini and Taglieri were formally commended for their exemplary actions during a critical incident involving an armed individual in crisis.

On October 3rd, officers responded to Duxbury Beach for a well being check involving a potentially armed individual in crisis. Upon arrival, Sergeant Maffeo located the individual holding a handgun. Through calm coordination, clear communication and effective crisis de-escalation techniques, Sergeant Maffeo and Officers Pollini and Taglieri were able to safely persuade the individual to put the fi***rm down.

Thanks to their professionalism, patience and teamwork, the situation was resolved without injury to the individual, the officers or the community. Their actions also insured that the individual was able to receive help. We are grateful for their dedication to keeping Duxbury safe.

Our station was full of smiles today as we welcomed the kindergartners for a special tour! 🚓💙
The little ones got an up-close look at how our drones work, explored the station, checked out our cruisers, and even played a fun round of Red Light, Green Light. They also had the chance to meet some very special guests —
Plymouth County Sheriff Officer Desroches and his wonderful K9 Therapy dogs, Starr and Jersey. The kids (and the adults!) loved spending time with these gentle, four-legged officers.
A big thank-you to Officer Desroches, Starr, and Jersey for joining us and making the day even more memorable. We’re so glad we could share a bit of what we do and create some positive memories with our youngest community members!
