📢 NO SHAVE NOVEMBER – SUPPORT THE CAUSE‼️

This month, members of the East Haven Police Department are putting down their razors and joining No Shave Connecticut in support of the Connecticut Cancer Foundation.

Every dollar raised helps provide financial assistance to local cancer patients and their families, and 100% of donations stay right here in Connecticut.

We invite our community to join us in spreading the word or donating if you’re able. Together, we can make a difference for those fighting the toughest battles of their lives.

Let’s show that East Haven’s strength extends beyond the badge.

Today, we proudly welcomed new beginnings and celebrated well-earned success within our ranks.

Please join us in congratulating Sergeant Raymond Wilson, who was officially sworn in following his recent promotion. Sergeant Wilson, who previously served our community as a Detective will be assigned to our Patrol Division, where his experience and leadership will continue to serve East Haven with distinction.

We also had the honor of swearing in two new entry-level officers, Andrew Newkirk and Alexya Vega, who will begin their training at the Milford Police Academy on November 7th.

We wish them both success as they embark on their law enforcement careers with the East Haven Police Department!
