After a hiatus during which we formulated and formalized our policy on which public safety incidents we do and do not include in our weekly summary, our police log now returns to concordbridge.org.
Help us keep the community informed: If you have a public safety concern or see an incident in progress, email us at news@concordbridge.org or call or text (978) 505-2776.
