Mayor Kim Driscoll announced today that the City of Salem is now coordinating with the City of Boston’s Help for Houston drive to bring aid and needed items to those residents of Texas impacted by Tropical Storm Harvey.
Salem residents are invited to deliver their donations of new diapers and unopened non-perishable baby food to the Mayor’s Office at City Hall, any Salem Fire Department station, or the Salem Police Station before noon on Thursday, August 31, to help infants, children, and families impacted by this devastating storm. Items should ideally be labeled and boxed when delivered, though they do not have to be.
“Salem is a compassionate community and when we see those suffering and in need elsewhere, we are quick to respond,” said Mayor Kim Driscoll. “Our office has been receiving numerous calls and inquiries about how we can help. Once we learned of Boston’s relief effort, we reached out to try to coordinate with them. My thanks go to Mayor Marty Walsh and the City of Boston for helping to organize this effort and for allowing us to be a part of it. I hope any Salem resident who has the ability to donate to this effort will do so before Thursday evening.”

Citizens’ Police Academy starting on September 27, 2017
From the Salem Police Department via
The Salem Police Department will be offering a Citizens’
Police Academy starting on September 27, 2017 and will run for a ten (10) week
period. The goal of the Citizens’ Police Academy is to offer insight into
the Department as an organization, discuss current case law that affects
policing today, and to give a general understanding of the day to day duties of
a Salem police officer.
This ten week course will cover topics such as patrol, firearms, search & seizure, underwater criminal investigation, modern day police technology, use of force and other areas of interest. Topics will be taught by patrolmen and superior officers with particular expertise in the subject matter. Additionally, the Salem Citizens’ Police Academy will also host a “ride along” to participants who attend at least eight of the ten class sessions. This ride along allows students to “patrol” with officers during their regular tour of duty. Students will also be given an opportunity to utilize the department’s firing range under the supervision of a police firearms instructor.
The Citizens’ Police Academy will be held at the Salem police station on Wednesday evenings from 7 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. There is no fee for attending the Citizens’ Police Academy and it is open to any Salem resident who is eighteen years of age or older. Class size is limited 30 students. Applications are available at the Salem Police Department or online at www.salempd.net. In order to be considered for the class beginning on September 27th, completed applications must be submitted no later than September 15, 2017.
