Coventry Police Department Recognizes Local Boy Scout

COVENTRY, R.I. -- The Coventry Police Department recognized a local Eagle Scout candidate Monday night for his service to the department and to the community. Brendan Dowling of Boy Scout Troop 11 Coventry was awarded the K9 Enzo Community Service Award.

Along with his family and other members of his troop, Dowling removed and replaced the shed at the Animal Control Facility at no cost to the town. In addition, the Scouts helped at the facility by organizing food and supplies and raking the yard.

"Thanks to Troop 11, our facility has never looked so good," said the Coventry Police Department in a press release.

Dowling's award reads: "For recognition of outstanding public service and citizenship demonstrated while performing a community project for Coventry Animal Control. Your demonstrated leadership building a shed for our Animal Control Facility exemplifies the best qualities of the Eagle Scout Service Project and brings great credit upon you, Troop 11 and the Boy Scouts of America. We wish you the best of luck on your journey to achieving the Eagle Scout Rank. Job Well Done Scouts!"
