Tonight we shared tears, hugs, and condolences for the women and men lost to overdose. At overdose awareness events in Yarmouth and Falmouth we stood together with families to provide some light in their darkness.

We honor their losses with strength and resilience. Many organizations are here on Cape Cod to support those who are struggling with addiction. Many of us are fighting to help prevent future generations from suffering with this disease.

Thank you to the Nauset Fellowship UU for having Sheriff Donna Buckley at the Chapel in the Pines on Sunday.

This week, members of the Brewster Fire Department’s visited the Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office Communication Center.

Each off‑going shift toured the facility and participated in discussions and presentations led by Director David Zach and Assistant Director Jon Drew. These sessions provided valuable insight into the critical role the Communication Center plays in answering 911 calls and coordinating fire department responses across Cape Cod, including dispatching fire and EMS services right here in Brewster.

For many of our staff members, this was the first time meeting the dispatchers behind the familiar voices we rely on every day. The visits helped both agencies better understand each other’s needs and challenges, strengthening communication and improving how we work together during emergencies.

We deeply appreciate the cooperation, outstanding service, and strong partnership we share with the Sheriff’s Office Communication Center’s staff. Their professionalism and dedication play a vital role in supporting our mission to provide high‑quality fire and EMS services to the residents and visitors of the Town of Brewster.

Our thanks to the Barnstable County Sheriff's Office Communications Center Staff for all that they do for our community!

A reminder to all residents and visitors: Please call 911 if you are experiencing an emergency. Your call will be answered by the dedicated professionals at this center who work closely with us to ensure you receive the help that you need.

There is so much purple this month. The Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office’s Bridge Center is purple. There are 978 memorial flags at Duffy Health Center and two Overdose Awareness events will be held on Monday.

In 2025 Massachusetts lost 978 lives to overdose.

In a single year almost one thousand Massachusetts families got the horrific news that their worst nightmare has come true.

We stand with those families and friends. We work towards less blame, less shame, more compassion and more solutions.

We expanded the Community Cooking program to include pizza!

Pizzas are made from scratch by incarcerated individuals at the Barnstable County Correctional Facility, then baked, frozen and delivered ready to eat. Currently the pizzas are being delivered to the Falmouth Service Center, with a plan to expand distribution.

The Community Cooking Program began in November 2025, when participants in a baking program started producing hundreds of rolls and loaves of bread for local food pantries. Today with distribution by the Cape Cod Cooperative Extension’s Food Access Program and the Waquoit Congregational Church , the bread can be found on the shelves of food pantries from Falmouth to Truro.

Much gratitude to Moto Pizza, Pie in the Sky and Clancy's Restaurant for volunteering time, expertise and ingredients!
