Great Barrington PD Names Five-Member Community Outreach Team
Great Barrington Police Chief, Paul Storti made the following statement:
This team’s emphasis is building trust, understanding, and transparency through two-way conversations so we can learn from each other, as education is our top priority. We hope this will bring a better mutual connection between our police and our community.
The department intended to appoint a single officer to the position, but interest was so great among officers that four members of the department have been appointed: Officers Andres Huertas, Olivia Cobb, Kris Balestro and his comfort dog Beko, as well GBPD Executive Assistant Cara Becker.
