Newburyport Police Department Hosts Quilt of Hope for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

NEWBURYPORT — City Marshal Mark Murray is pleased to announce that the Tough Warrior Princesses’ Quilt of Hope is on display at the Newburyport Police Department, as both a sign of support for women battling breast cancer and in an effort to spread awareness.

The quilt travels throughout the region to be displayed by various organizations, and is being showcased at the Newburyport Police Department on Green Street through the month of October, breast cancer awareness month.

“We’re honored and proud to be able to showcase the Quilt of Hope this month, and stand in solidarity with all those impacted by breast cancer,” City Marshal Murray said. “Spreading awareness is incredibly important, and we felt hosting the quilt was the perfect way to participate in breast cancer awareness month.”

Tough Warrior Princesses, a nonprofit based out of Amesbury, works to raise funds for cancer research, educate the public, spreads awareness about the need for a cure and supports women with cancer and their families. Brenda Haskell, a Tough Warrior Princess board member and 31 year, three time cancer survivor, crafted the Quilt of Hope in an effort to spread hope and love to those suffering from breast cancer and to honor those who have died from the disease.

At 2:26 a.m. Friday, April 26, Newburyport Police were dispatched to MK Benatti Jewelers, 1 State St., for a glass break alarm. While en route, officers were advised that a break-in had occurred a few hours earlier at a jewelry store in Salisbury.

Newburyport Police Expand H.E.L.P.S. Program to Assist Those with Autism 

NEWBURYPORT — City Marshal Mark Murray is pleased to share that the Newburyport Police Department has expanded a program that helps officers locate residents who are prone to wandering and becoming lost in recognition of Autism Awareness Month.

The Newburyport Police Help Every Lost Person to Safety (H.E.L.P.S.) program prepares officers with useful information including a person’s name, address, medical conditions, and a photo should that individual wander and go missing.

The free, confidential, and optional program has previously focused on elderly individuals at risk of wandering, and has been expanded this April to help those with autism.

“H.E.L.P.S. has been incredibly effective in assisting us with locating missing individuals quickly, and as Autism Awareness Month began this year it made sense for us to expand the program to include everyone,” Marshal Murray said. “If you’re the family member or caretaker of an individual that might benefit from this program, we encourage you to sign up or reach out to the police department to learn more about how this could be beneficial.”

Family members and caretakers who would like to add an individual to the program can do so sending a completed informational form and photo by email to [email protected] or by mail to Newburyport Police Department c/o Off. Sinclair at 4 Green St., Newburyport, MA 01950.

NEWBURYPORT — City Marshal Mark Murray is pleased to announce that Newburyport Police officers have extended their charitable efforts, which began with No Shave November, by continuing to sport facial hair through the remainder of the year.

In November, officers raised money to benefit Home Base, a joint effort between the Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital that benefits post-9/11 veterans and families. Now, Newburyport officers have been granted an extended waiver from the department’s facial hair policy in exchange for a donation to the Salvation Army.

Officers donated approximately $50 each in exchange for an exemption from the policy, and combined raised $1,035 for the Salvation Army.

“I’m proud of our officers’ commitment to continue supporting and raising awareness for these meaningful causes throughout the holiday season,” Marshal Murray said.
