I want to congratulate everyone that was presented with an award during this “remote” ceremony. I also want to thank the entire organization for everything they do on a daily basis in continuing to strive to bring the Mashpee Police Department to its highest professional level. Law enforcement has taken some hits over the past few years. Having said that I truly feel we are on the upswing and things are moving in a different direction. From the phone calls, emails and letters I receive from the public, I can tell you that we are supported by our community and I want to thank the community for their continued positive support. This strong support has been established through the actions of our employees and what they consistently do on a daily basis and the commitment and dedication they display to this profession. If I don’t show up for work one day it really isn’t a big deal. If the patrol division, detective bureau, dispatchers and sergeants don’t show up for work one day, it is a very big deal. It is through their actions in dealing with the everyday problems that has earned the respect of our community, and for that I thank the entire organization. They continue to raise the bar for those that follow.
I also want to thank the community and the public for the outpouring of support and well wishes throughout the year. It is because of you we continue to strive for excellence while serving with pride and integrity. The entire organization joins me in wishing all of you a very safe, healthy and happy New Year and if we can ever be of any assistance please don’t hesitate to contact us.
