Grateful for police vigilance

by Scott Hayward  ·   Friday, September 13, 2024

I want to thank Harvard police officers for their vigilance when making their nightly rounds.  Late one night, noticing a light left on the second floor, officers appropriately investigated further, found in addition to the light, an outside door unlocked, and notified me to come and lock up.  The Harvard General Store had uncharacteristically let our guard down.

 It’s not often that we think something bad can happen here.  We lull ourselves into complacency. If not for Harvard’s police we may have left ourselves unprotected all night.

Thank you again.
