Naugatuck Police Officers 'Superheroes' to This City Hill Middle School Student

Written by Naugatuck Police Lt. Bryan Cammarata,

(Wednesday) several officers of the NPD in including Lt. Pete Bosco, Officer Dasilva, Officer Robinson and Officer Borys went to City Hill Middle school after the NPD received a letter from a student named “Brandon”.

The letter was forwarded to us from City Hill M.S. teacher Ms. Buyers who stated that her classroom theme was superheroes and that her class used this writing project to discuss positive choices, being helpful citizens and being kind in general … Ms. Bowers stated that she asked her students to write about their favorite superheroes … and that Brandon submitted the following letter for the project;

"Dear Officer,

I am writing to tell you that police officers are my favorite superheroes. A superhero is someone who tries hard to do good for others. Police Officers are nice, they help people and they save lives. I think saving lives is the coolest thing about police officers. i can be like a police officer by doing well at school and at home.

Thanks for the inspiration, Officer!
Your fan,
Brandon.

… While I don’t personally think that any of these officers actually possess the superhero powers that I happen to have …. (Slumbering/ snoozing, Donut selection AND ingesting and of course coffee consumption … just to name a few …) … I do believe that they represented our officers well!!

…The officers offered the students Halloween safety tips were and shared a question and answer process … which can sometimes go south very fast with the middle-schoolers …. But this one went remarkably well … All the children and staff were treated with coupons redeemable at friendlies after the Halloween holiday …. (and no … I don’t know why donuts were not offered up as well …)

…It was a great time and the officers, staff and especially the students enjoyed themselves immensely!!! … Thanks City Hill Middle School and Thank you Brandon!!!
