“I want to express my gratitude to our Detective Bureau for removing illicit drugs and those who profit from them off the streets of our community. These are predators who prey off the disease of addiction. Furthermore, I want to sincerely thank the residents of our community for providing us with the information that led to this arrest. This is why the Milford Police Department is community committed above all. We believe our responsiveness, transparency and communication through social media and community events makes our citizens more likely to help us keep their neighborhoods safe.”- Milford Chief of Police Robert Tusino
