WESTFORD — State Rep. James Arciero and state Sen. John Cronin presented a $50,000 budget earmark to the Westford Police Department to support the development of a wellness center for officers.
The funds come from an earmark secured by Arciero and Cronin in the fiscal 2027 state budget and will be used for equipment, upgrades and other services associated with the wellness center.
“I’m proud to help secure this funding for the Westford Police Department,” said Arciero. “Our police officers dedicate themselves to keeping our community safe, and it is important that we provide them with the resources and support they need to take care of their own health and well-being. This wellness center will be a valuable resource for the department and its officers.”
“This funding is an investment in the people who serve Westford every day. Police work comes with significant demands, and caring for those who protect our community is essential to public safety. I’m proud to work alongside Representative Arciero to support a wellness center where Westford’s officers can focus on their health and well-being and access the support they deserve,” said Cronin.
Arciero and Cronin presented the funding alongside Westford Police Chief Mark Chambers and his leadership team, thanking him and the department for their continued service and commitment to the community.
