From getting case numbers for minor incidents to paying parking tickets, requesting reports, scheduling fingerprint appointments, and accessing a city directory in five languages, the system is designed to improve convenience and accessibility for the community.
   

• Seal of Approval: Injured Gray Seal Finds a Permanent Home in Connecticut (noaa.gov) — A gray seal named Pearl, deemed unable to survive in the wild, has found a permanent home at the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk, where she's already on exhibit with other seals.
