After a disaster, it is sometimes easier to call long distance to unaffected areas. <br />Provide every family member with the name, address, and phone number of the emergency contact and make sure each family member has a cellphone or a prepaid phone card. <br />Inform your emergency contact of any family member’s special needs or medical issues. <br />List emergency contacts in cellphones as “ICE” (in case of emergency), which will make it easier for emergency personnel to contact the right person. <br />Use alternate communications methods: <br />Show all family members how to text message, as it may be easier to send a text than make a call during an emergency. <br />Learn how to use social media. Social media can be an effective tool to let friends and family know your location and status. <br />Keep the <a href="http://www.redcross.org/">American Red Cross</a> <a href="https://safeandwell.communityos.org/cms/index.php">Safe and Well</a> service in mind. Use it to register yourself as “safe and well” or search for loved ones after a disaster. <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br />Establish Meeting Locations <br /><br /> <br />Select two family meeting locations: choose one location close to home and another farther away, in case you need to evacuate or cannot return to the area. <br /><br /> <br />Provide Evacuation Information<br /><br /> <br />Identify and practice how you will exit your home. <br />Establish possible evacuation routes to ensure you are able to get to designated meeting locations. Talk to your <a href="http://www.mass.gov/eopss/agencies/mema/emergency-management-directors-listing.html">local emergency management agency</a> to learn about evacuation routes. <br />Identify available modes of transportation. <br />Make arrangements with family, neighbors, friends, or local government if you don’t have personal transportation. <br />If you need assistance, contact local public safety officials to make them aware of your needs.<br /><br />Include Instructions for Sheltering In Place<br /> <br />Designate safe room(s) within your home. These rooms should have:<br /> <br />As few windows or doors as possible. <br />
<br />Access to television, radio and telephones. <br /><br />Ensure you have necessary supplies and can access your <a href="http://www.mass.gov/eopss/agencies/mema/ready-massachusetts/emergency-kit.html">emergency kit</a>. <br /><br />If you receive medical treatments or home healthcare services, work with your medical provider to identify options if you are unable to leave your home for a period of time. <br />Review tips to <a href="http://www.mass.gov/eopss/agencies/mema/ready-massachusetts/shelter-in-place.html">safely shelter in place. </a><br /><br /> <br />Special Considerations<br /><br />Plan for everyone in your household including individuals with <a href="http://www.mass.gov/eopss/agencies/mema/ready-massachusetts/individuals-with-access-and-functional-needs.html">access and functional needs</a>, seniors, children, and <a href="http://www.mass.gov/eopss/agencies/mema/ready-massachusetts/pets-and-animals-in-emergencies.html">pets</a>.<br /><br /> Don’t forget to practice your plan with your household!<br /> MEMA is the state agency charged with ensuring the state is prepared to withstand, respond to, and recover from all types of emergencies and disasters, including natural hazards, accidents, deliberate attacks, and technological and infrastructure failures.

As summer winds down, Wrentham Police will be out in force looking for impaired drivers. From August 14 to September 7, the Wrentham Police Department will be teaming up with Massachusetts State Police and more than 191 eligible local police departments across the state to curb impaired driving and save lives. The 25-day, high-visibility campaign, Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over, is funded by a federal grant administered through the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security’s Highway Safety Division (EOPSS/HSD). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In 2013, there were 10,076 people killed across the country in drunk-driving crashes, and 118 of those people were killed on Massachusetts roadways. As people celebrate the final days of summer, Labor Day weekend is a dangerous time to be on the roads. Thirty eight percent of national crash fatalities on Labor Day weekend in 2013 involved drunk drivers with blood alcohol concentrations [BACs] of .08 or higher, amounting to 161 lives lost across the country. There were four fatalities that same weekend in Massachusetts. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In every state, it’s illegal to drive with a BAC of .08 or higher. Chief James Anderson wants to remind Wrentham area drivers that driving sober is not a recommendation – it’s the law. During the upcoming enforcement period, there will be a special emphasis on drunk-driving enforcement. Local drivers should expect to see more patrol vehicles, OUI checkpoints, and increased messaging about this reckless crime. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Wrentham Police Department also reminds motorists that wearing a safety belt is your best defense against drunk and aggressive drivers and your own mistakes. </div>

<br />
During this holiday season National Grid and local police departments received an increasing<br />
number of calls from customers being targeted by billing scam artists and impersonators trying to gain<br />
access to account information and entry to National Grid customers’ homes. The bill scams mirror<br />
reports received by utility companies throughout the country where the scammers are demanding<br />
immediate payment for electricity and natural gas bill balances and threatening immediate service shutoff<br />
if payments are not received within an hour or two. If the customer has made a payment, the caller<br />
will say that the payment has not been received and an immediate payment must be made. For the<br />
most part the scammers are demanding that the customer secure a pre-paid debit card and provide the<br />
account number to the scammer who then redeems the card.<br />
National Grid does contact customers with past due balances by phone to offer payment<br />
options. Direct payment is an option but direct payment is never demanded as a prerequisite for<br />
continued service. If customers wish, they can arrange for a payment by check, credit card or debit<br />
card if they speak directly to a customer service representative. Payment can also be made by credit<br />
card or debit card without a representative’s assistance. National Grid does not accept pre-paid debit<br />
cards for payment and would never ask a customer to acquire one of these cards to make a bill<br />
payment.<br />
The callers have shown to be adept at extracting account information from unsuspecting<br />
customers and they use sophisticated telephone technology to convince customers they are actually<br />
calling from National Grid.<br />
Ask Questions/Demand Proper ID<br />
In addition to the on-going fraudulent bill collection calls, there have been recurring reports of<br />
individuals going door-to-door, identifying themselves as employees of National Grid and demanding to<br />
see the customer’s electricity or natural gas bills. In other instances, people claiming to be a utility<br />
company employee have been able to gain entry to a home by telling the customer they must inspect<br />
their meter, which is usually located in the customer’s basement. When the customer accompanies the<br />
impersonator into the basement, an accomplice enters the home and removes items of value without<br />
the customer knowing it.<br />
News Release<br />
NATIONAL GRID WARNS CUSTOMERS TO GUARD THEMSELVES<br />
AND SENSITIVE ACCOUNT INFORMATION<br />
Reports of Home Invasions, Billing Scams and Employee Impersonators Increased<br />
During The Holiday SeasonIn all instances when customers come in contact with any individual claiming to represent<br />
National Grid, they should verify their identity before divulging account information, making a bill<br />
payment or allowing access to their home. If a customer has any concerns about the nature of the<br />
contact they should call National Grid’s Customer Contact Center immediately to clarify billing issues<br />
and confirm the identity of the person trying to secure account information or gain entry to the home.<br />
In New England, customers can reach the Center at 1-800-322-3223.<br />

<span class="Normal__Char" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">Wrentham,M</span><span class="Normal__Char" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">A</span> – As you celebrate the holiday season enjoying traditions, food, family and fun, be reminded that Wrentham Police will be out in force from December 1, 2014 to January 1, 2015 to protect the Commonwealth’s citizens by arresting anyone caught behind the wheel operating under the influence. The Wrentham Police<span class="Normal__Char" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;"> </span>will join other local law enforcement agencies and the MA State Police to run extra patrols through the New Year as part of the national <span class="Normal__Char" style="font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over </span>mobilization, funded by a federal grant administered through the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security’s Highway Safety Division (EOPSS-HSD). </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Arial; margin: 0pt 0pt 8pt;">
The Wrentham Police is giving fair warning to all partygoers. “You’ll see us making lots of stops during this highly visible enforcement period and if we suspect anyone is driving while intoxicated, officers will show zero tolerance for impaired driving,” said Lt. George Labonte</div>
<div class="Normal_0020_0028Web_0029" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Arial; margin: 0pt;">
“The message is simple: <span class="Normal_0020_0028Web_0029__Char" style="font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over</span><span class="Normal_0020_0028Web_0029__Char" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">.</span> Drinking alcohol and driving do not mix. If you plan to consume alcohol, you should also plan not to get behind the wheel of a vehicle,” said Lt. Labonte<span class="Normal_0020_0028Web_0029__Char" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;"> </span></div>
<div class="Normal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Arial; margin: 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Normal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Arial; margin: 0pt;">
Unfortunately, the excitement and celebrations of the holiday season can lead to terrible decisions, and serious legal consequences. Data shows that the holiday season is a particularly deadly time due to the increased number of impaired drivers on the roads. In 2011 in Massachusetts, 114 people were killed in crashes that involved drivers with a blood alcohol content level of .08 or higher.</div>
<div class="Normal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Arial; margin: 0pt;">

<div class="Normal" style="margin: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Arial;">“This holiday, we will show zero tolerance for those driving under the influence on the road. If you choose to drive drunk, we will see you, we will stop you, and you will be arrested,” said Lt. Labonte</span></div>
<div class="Normal" style="margin: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Arial;"> EOPSS-HSD recommends these tips for a safe holiday season:</span></div>
<div class="Normal" style="margin: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Arial;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Plan a safe way home before the festivities begin;</span></div>
<div class="Normal" style="margin: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Arial;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Before drinking, designate a sober driver and leave your car keys at home;</span></div>
<div class="Normal" style="margin: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Arial;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>If you’re impaired, use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation;</span></div>
<div class="Normal" style="margin: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Arial;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>If you happen to see an impaired driver on the road, don’t hesitate to contact law enforcement;</span></div>
<div class="Normal" style="margin: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Arial;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>And remember, Drive Sober Or Get Pulled Over.

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The attached press release details a utility billing scam that is once again targeting National Grid customers in New England. These utility bill scammers are demanding immediate payment for electric bill balances, which customers might not even owe. The fraudulent callers are claiming to be from National Grid and threatening customers with immediate service shut-off unless they provide credit card or bank account information that can be used to access the accounts.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">National Grid has been doing public outreach to raise public awareness about this scam. You may have even heard us on the radio instructing customers not to give the caller any information and to ask them to verify the last 5 digits of the billing account. </span></span></div>

Barrett, responded to a suspicious person seen walking up a driveway on Spring Street in West Wrentham.<br />
<br />
Officer Coliflores was first at the scene and identified Jeffrey Carroll of Franklin walking on Spring Street carrying a plastic bag with stolen property. Officer Coliflores arrested Carroll, assisted by Officer O'Connell.<br />
<br />
Further investigation connected Carroll to the house on Spring Street only a short walk from where Carroll was apprehended. Items in Carroll's possession at the time of his arrest also link him to the property.<br />
<br />

<b><span style="font-size: 18.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Three Arrested for Stolen and Counterfeit Credit Cards and ID’s at the
Wrentham Village Outlets<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
On December 30<sup>th</sup>,
2013, around 1:00PM, the Wrentham Police responded to the Burberry store at the
Wrentham Village Premium Outlets. Store
employees were reporting three individuals inside the store attempting to make
a purchase valued at more than $8000.00 with stolen or counterfeit credit cards
and identifications.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Officer Robert
O’Connell arrived to the scene first and witnessed the transaction taking
place. When he confronted two of the
suspects, they fled from the store on foot to a rented 2013 Mercedes E350,
parked nearby. Officer Jon Coliflores
and Sgt. James Barrett assisted Officer O’Connell in apprehending the three
suspects before they were able to escape.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
A subsequent
investigation, including suspect interviews and several search warrants,
revealed the three had spent thousands of dollars throughout <st1:state w:st="on">Massachusetts</st1:state>,
specifically <st1:street w:st="on">Newbury Street</st1:street>
in <st1:place w:st="on">Boston</st1:place>,
using stolen or counterfeit credit and debit cards and id’s.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
The investigation
is ongoing with the assistance of the United States Secret Service, but it
appears these three suspects may be involved in similar crimes in other eastern
states.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
The three arrested
are Justin <st1:city w:st="on">Worthington</st1:city>, 24 years old from Oxon
Hill, <st1:state w:st="on">Maryland</st1:state>; Alexus Jackson, 20 years old
from parts unknown and Christian Johnson, 23 years old from Landover, <st1:place w:st="on">Maryland</st1:place>.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
All three were
held on $10,000.00 cash bail until court on the following day where they were
arraigned. Johnson is being held on a
felony warrant for carjacking out of <st1:city w:st="on">Prince George</st1:city>’s
County, <st1:state w:st="on">Maryland</st1:state>.</div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">National AMBER Alert
Awareness Day, January 13<sup>th</sup>, 2014, is set aside and memorialized in
honor of Amber Hagerman and the establishment of a national AMBER Alert Program
by the U.S. Department of Justice. This
is an appropriate time to notify the public of an important achievement by the
Metropolitan Law Enforcement Council (Metro LEC). Metro LEC is a consortium of cities, towns
and sheriff departments from <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Massachusetts</st1:place></st1:state>
with the goal of sharing resources among its member agencies in order to
provide the best possible police services to the community.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">On July 23<sup>rd</sup> and
24<sup>th</sup>, 2013, Metro LEC conducted a “mock” child abduction drill in
the Town of <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Norwood</st1:place></st1:city>. Officers from member agencies of the Metro
LEC organization mobilized and responded to <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Norwood</st1:place></st1:city> to investigate a report of a missing
child. Assessors from the AMBER Program
evaluated the Metro LEC Child Abduction Response Team (Metro CART), a specialized
unit within Metro LEC. They assessed protocols
and the effectiveness of the drill, to meet standards set forth by the U.S.
Department of Justice. After completion
of the drill, Metro CART has received notification from the AMBER Program that
we have successfully met these necessary standards and will become the 19<sup>th</sup>
nationally certified CART team, and only the second northeastern state team to
receive the honor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">On February 18<sup>th</sup>,
2014, Metro LEC will be presented an award by the Department of Justice for the
national certification. This award will
be presented by Phil Keith, Program Director of the AMBER Alert Training and
Technical Assistance Program. More
information will follow regarding the award ceremony.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"> A
Wrentham man pled guilty to 12 indictments of possessing child pornography in
Norfolk Superior Court August 7, 2013 and was sentenced to a year and a half
incarceration, according to Norfolk District Attorney Michael W.
Morrissey.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">
“Edward<span style="color: #1f497d;"> </span>Bourget
admitted to having more than a thousand images and videos of children, some
still toddlers, being sexually abused,” District Attorney Morrissey said after
the plea. “The maximum penalty for the crime is 5 years state prison. We
requested a 4 to 5 year sentence, followed by 10 years of probation with sex
offender treatment, GPS tracking of his movements, no internet use and no
unsupervised contact with children under 18 when he is
released.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">
Morrissey praised the investigation by the Wrentham Police Department, the
Department of Homeland Security and the Computer Crimes Unit of the Metropolitan
Law Enforcement Council, saying “there was a tremendous amount of work necessary
to process and develop this much evidence, and Assistant District Attorney Anne
Yas did good work bringing this to a successful
conclusion.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">
Judge Kenneth C. Fishman sentenced Bourget, 49, of Blackberry Hill Road in
Wrentham, to 2 ½ years in a house of correction, 18 months to serve, followed by
6 years of probation with conditions that he undergo sex offender treatment, be
subject to GPS monitoring, submit a DNA sample, possess no adult or child
pornography and have no internet access - enforced by a firewall to monitored by
probation.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"> “Be
it possession, creation or distribution, any involvement with child pornography
encourages and abets the criminal violation of children and the damaging of
young lives,” District Attorney Morrissey said. “Society needs to stand against
this at every turn. I cannot thank the Wrentham police and their partners enough
for their work here.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">
From September 2011 until January 2012, Bourget used the screen name “MWMfromMA”
to communicate with a party he did not know was an undercover U.S. Immigration
and Customs Enforcement Task Force agent. That communication began when Bourget
answered a posting offering sex with an underage girl in <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Florida</st1:place></st1:state>. Probable cause
was developed to obtain a search warrant for Bourget’s residence stemming from
those communications.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
