I hope this gives you an idea of what our police officers are doing in the community.   I would like to thank the Town Manager for his guidance through the year and also the Town Council for their support.

If there is an emergency, please call 911. Please do not call the Town of Holden if there is an emergency because they are not able to send out an officer as quickly nor as efficiently as the regional 911 dispatch center. I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable 2007.

Respectfully submitted,

Gene Worcester, Police Chief
