Today, Dispatcher Deidre “Dee” Schofield has worked her last shift to end a 30 year career with the Brewster Police Department. Dee has been the calm voice on the phone for so many in her time here.

Her career began in the building that is now the Natural Resources/Conservation building, where she dispatched for both police and fire/ems. She has worked for three different police chiefs and seen many changes over the course of her service.

Dee will certainly be missed by her coworkers, community members, and the members of our reassurance program, many whom have become like family with their daily “chats”.

Enjoy a long and healthy retirement Dee! You’ve earned it!
