In light of all that has happened beyond the Andover town limits lately, I want to publicly express my gratitude to Chief Laramie and his whole team for all that the Andover Police Department does to keep us safe and secure here at home. Thank you so much for taking on that responsibility.

Whenever I see an Andover cruiser pass my driveway, I smile, reassured that it doesn’t matter where in town you live – state highway, narrow dirt road, or somewhere in between – you are included in a patrolled route. They’ve got you covered.

Some things are too often left unsaid.  “Thank you” should not be one of them.
