Our new police department headquarters had its official ribbon cutting ceremony in March. In attendance were current and former members of the New Milford Police Department, New Milford's Governing Body, as well as many other distinguished guests. We are very appreciative to all those who attended and made this a very special event. During the ceremony, the police vehicle entrance way to the new headquarters was dedicated to Detective Lieutenant Brian Long, a dedicated member of this department who passed away in 2016. He will always be remembered by the NMPD.
