Last weekend, 7 court-ordered community service workers gave something back to the town after being arrested earlier this fall. The program, called Community Enhancement Through Community Service, was started by Detective Brian Johnson, and it coordinates individuals that have committed minor offenses, such as open container of alcohol or noise complaints, with community organizations that need, well, cheap labor. This past weekend, the 7 worked under the supervision of Detective Johnson and did brush cleanup and mulching at the Amherst Police Department's Adventure-Based Ropes Course at the Norwottock Range.
The Department is currently soliciting suggestions for work projects to be completed in the spring of 2008. If you have a project idea, or if you are a non-profit organization in Amherst that could benefit from this program, please contact Detective Brian Johnson at 413-259-3176 or e-mail him at johnsonb@amherstma.gov.
