To the Editor:
I just learned that the most recent graduating class of law enforcement officers from the Maine Criminal Justice Academy purchased and donated toys for underprivileged children rather than celebrate in a more traditional manner with a party.
That class included officer Jason Warlick of the Damariscotta Police Department.
Their action was a wonderful example of the collective character of the 60 policemen and policewomen who comprised the graduating class, and a manifestation of the highest traditions of public service. As a former law enforcement officer, I’m proud of Officer Warlick and every member of the class of which he was a part.
These men and woman will be positive additions to the Maine police and sheriffs departments in which they will serve. Well done and congratulations to Officer Warlick and his colleagues.

Former Chief, Brunswick Police
