Billerica Police | MA

Billerica – On Thursday, June 25, 2014, Billerica Police responded to the Dutile Elementary School in Billerica for a report of a recent vandalism. Officers spoke with a custodian that pointed out recent damage to the building, including three smashed windows, some ripped off siding, a damaged security camera as well as a large air conditioning unit that had been tipped over on the roof. An investigation of the damage resulted in the identification of three juvenile males that are believed to be responsible for the damage. It is believed that the juveniles had been on the property the prior evening when they committed the damage. Although all three males are facing possible charges of Malicious Destruction of Property over $250, the Billerica Police are working with the School Department and the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office to determine the best course of action. Additional options of restitution and participation in a Juvenile Diversion Program are also being considered.

Any additional questions should be directed to Deputy Chief Roy Frost, 978-667-1212 x151

In response to a number of residents who have expressed concerns about the
Colonial Drive Roadway work we have scheduled a meeting for Tuesday, June 10 at 6:30pm at the Parker School Library. The Town Manager and Staff will be available to address your concerns. This meeting will be followed by a Neighborhood Meeting at 7:00pm at the same location.

Town Manager, John Curran, has scheduled a series of neighborhood meetings to update area residents’ on a range of Town Projects and initiatives. The purpose of these meetings is to promote meaningful and thoughtful dialogue on issues of concern to Town residents. As well as, to answer the questions and concerns of our resident we will have available all of the Town Department Heads. They will be updating the residents on new and ongoing issues as well as answering any questions and concerns.

Billerica Residents are encouraged to attend and participate in conversations about neighborhood issues and concerns as well as Town wide concerns.

There will be three meetings all at a different location. Please feel free to attend the most convenient location that suites you; or you can attend all three.

Town Manager, John Curran commented: “I would like to see all of the Town residents attend at least one meeting as this will provide not only the residents with helpful information on the Town’s side but we will also learn of concerns of the Town residents.”

In addition to the Neighborhood Meetings we will be holding a meeting on June 9, 2014 to do an informational session on Town finances. This session will be different from the Neighborhood Meetings in that we will be discussing financial issues exclusively and to answer any questions you may have about the Town’s financial condition. Curran said, “Being informed about the Town finances is important as every resident has a stake in the financial future of the Town of Billerica.”
