South Windsor Police Lend a Warm Hand

From South Windsor Police

In May of 2015, the South Windsor Police Department collaborated with Councilman Saud Anwar, Human Relations Commission Chair Charlie Margolis and Tata Consultancy Services to create the “Warm Communities” initiative.

The Police Department was provided with 160 pair of hand warmers donated by Mr. Manoj Tripathy, on behalf of Tata Consultancy Services, Corporate Social Responsibility program.

We were fortunate to have had a relatively mild winter to this point, but as the cold weather arrived we began supplying the donated hand warmers to officers to hand out.

The officers are distributing hand warmers when they encounter persons who have to stand in the cold or inclement weather for extended periods, perhaps waiting at a bus stop, or waiting for a tow truck because their car has broken down.

It is our way of trying to make people’s day just a little easier and extend the message that South Windsor cares.
