Westport police to recruit new senior liaison as council on aging leader retires
Summary
Chief Dunn said the department's senior liaison officer moved to another assignment and the town's council on aging coordinator, Beverly Bish, is retiring; the department plans consumer-protection outreach for seniors around the holidays. No dates or funding were announced.
The host at Westport Night Out noted the department's engagement with the council on aging and said Beverly Bish will be retiring from that role.
Chief Dunn confirmed the department's senior liaison had transferred to a different area of the police department and said officials are seeking a replacement. He said the department attends commission meetings to hear seniors' concerns and hopes to run a holiday-era session on scams targeting older adults, possibly in partnership with a federal agency.
The remarks described intended outreach rather than a formal program change; the chief did not provide a timeline, a budget or the name of any federal partner on the record.
