• RISP Warwick Arrests Sept. 1-9: DUIs, Conspiracy (warwickpost.com) — Warwick residents can see how Rhode Island State Police handled several recent DUI and shoplifting-related cases tied to the city between Sept. 1 and 9, including stops on Centerville Road and I-95. The report outlines individual arrests, charges, and court processing, while highlighting a broader Labor Day weekend crackdown that removed multiple impaired drivers from Rhode Island roads.
• NOAA Sets Fall Shark Identification Workshops as Look-Alike Species Complicate Atlantic Catch Reports (natureworldnews.com) — Commercial and charter operators around Warwick should note that NOAA is holding a free Safe Handling, Release, and Identification Workshop on October 14 at the Hilton Garden Inn on Thurber Street. The course is required for many federally permitted shark and swordfish vessels, helps keep shark catch reports accurate, and teaches safer release techniques for protected species like sea turtles and prohibited sharks.
• Sub accident in 1927 claimslives (johnstonsunrise.net) — A 1927 submarine disaster off Provincetown claimed the lives of 40 sailors, including one who lived in Warwick with his wife. The story recounts the desperate rescue attempts, the eventual recovery of the Rhode Islanders' bodies, and the lasting memorial traditions in Cranston that kept their memories alive for decades afterward.
