Wildwood Cops Use Bernie and McGregor To Hawk Their T-Shirts
Wildwood Police have been employing some social media and photo-shopping tactics to sell some t-shirts.
Wildwood Police are in the midst of their Unity Tour fundraising efforts, and are selling long and short sleeve t-shirts to do just that.
In order to the participate in the Police Unity Tour, officers must raise money that not only pays for the tour itself, but is also used to make a donation to the National Law Enforcement Officer’s Memorial and Museum, located in Washington, DC. All proceeds raised from the sale of “Team Wildwood” t-shirts will benefit the Police Unity Tour and will allow our officers to ride in this year’s event (May 2021).

A fired officer will often have violated the department’s ethics code or standards of conduct, but the offense won’t rise to the level of revoking certification, experts say.Christian Abraham / Hearst Connecticut Media
FAIRIFIELD A review process is launched whenever police officers are fired, but in most cases, it does not mean they will lose their certification, law enforcement experts say.
In most instances, the officer will have violated the department’s ethics code or standards of conduct, but the offense won’t rise to the level of revoking certification. This means officers are generally able to start working at another department as was the case with a member of the Shelton department who was fired last year and then was hired this month in Fairfield.
