On June 9, the 352nd recruit class of the Connecticut Police Academy presented Captain Peterson, who is the class’s session coordinator, with a $900 donation to the Cove Organization, as well as a blanket with each recruit’s department patch sewn into the cloth to be given to the Guilford Cove site.

The Cove is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1995 by Jim and Mary Ann Emswiler and therapist Renee’ McIntyre. Their vision was to create a program to support children and families in their grief process and to help prevent children and teens from experiencing the devastating side effects of unresolved childhood grief.
