📰 News we're reading

• East Haven Police Officer, Longtime DEA Task Force Member, Sworn In As Detective (patch.com) — East Haven residents are welcoming a familiar face into a new role as Officer Kyle Savo, a longtime DEA task force member, is sworn in as the police department's newest detective. After years disrupting narcotics trafficking with agencies statewide and beyond, he's now bringing that experience directly back to serving and protecting East Haven.
   

• Atlantic hurricane season has been unusually quiet. What that means for Connecticut (rep-am.com) — Connecticut, including shoreline communities like East Haven's Cosey Beach, is seeing an unusually quiet Atlantic hurricane season so far, thanks largely to El Niño. Meteorologists still urge residents to stay prepared, noting that even a single late-season storm can bring serious wind, surge, or flooding impacts despite below-normal overall activity.
