National EMS and Public Works Weeks:Â The Town of Colchester celebrated both National EMS Week and National Public Works Week from May 16-May 22. We thanked and honored our Emergency Medical Services providers in our Rescue and Technical Rescue squads for their selfless dedication to saving lives and keeping community members healthy and safe, especially during this last tough year during the pandemic. We also honored our Public Works employees who serve an important role in our community to provide services and implement capital projects to keep the town running and safe. We thank both of these groups for their service to the town. Read the full letters to the EMS (https://colchestervt.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=412) and Public Works Department (https://colchestervt.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=413).Â

During the week set aside to honor the service and protection police provide and to remember fallen officers, Chief Doug Allen, Town Manager Aaron Frank, and the Selectboard, on behalf of the Town of Colchester, thank the officers and staff of the Colchester Police Department for their service to the community.
Here in Colchester, our police do much more than enforce laws. They are often the first to show up at any call for help or assistance. They are trained in first aid and carry life-saving equipment in case of an emergency. They serve our community in countless ways, at all hours of the day and night, in any weather, and often alone. They take their responsibility seriously, from respecting all members of the community, to safeguarding life and property. They partner with other groups to solve problems and help those who struggle.
