Duxbury Police ask supporters to divert their donations to community groups
DUXBURY - Duxbury police are thanking the public for their outpouring of support this week following the Clancy family tragedy.
The department posted on Facebook Thursday, asking well-wishers not to make donations to them.
"As police focus on the needs of the effected family, I am asking that those of you who are seeking a way to help, direct your energy toward the families and community members who have been impacted," Chief Michael Carbone wrote.
"Because the public safety community is often faced with traumatic situations, there are established mechanisms in place to ensure that we have the resources needed to continue operating and support our personnel under even the most extreme of conditions."
