Submitted on behalf of the Bedford Police Department
Chief Robert Bongiorno and the Bedford Police Department are pleased to announce that a series of six informational sessions on various public safety and policing topics will be held in the coming months.
The Department has planned the programs, one each month from May to October, to familiarize the community with members of the department and inform residents about various public safety and policing topics.

WHY ATTEND?
“We want people to know who we are and what we do,” Lt. James Graham said. “These sessions are a great tool for police and residents to get to know one another better while addressing a prevalent public safety topic in Bedford.”
“I encourage residents to attend one or more of these sessions,” Chief Bongiorno said. “Our goal is to share the police work we do throughout the community and to familiarize residents with our officers. Come, listen to one of our presentations on public safety, and get to know your local officers in a relaxed setting.”
