To the Editor: Massachusetts State Police Statement Regarding Policing Services in Town of Blandford

For decades the Massachusetts State Police have maintained a strong presence in the town of Blandford, providing police services on a daily basis and responding to emergency and routine calls for service to supplement the local department’s capabilities. State Police also exclusively provide police services in the town on the overnight shift. We have notified town officials that we maintain our commitment to the town and will assume any additional duties required in the wake of the resignations of local officers. The residents of Blandford may be assured that the State Police will continue to protect their community. All 911 calls from Blandford for police assistance are now being routed to the State Police Barracks in Russell. Residents should call 911 for any emergencies, and for general, non-emergency calls, contact State Police-Russell at (413) 862-3312. The barracks is located at 90 Westfield Rd., Russell.
