Derby Police Department recruiting auxiliary police officer candidates

DERBY - The Derby Police Department is currently recruiting candidates to volunteer as auxiliary police officers. 

The auxiliary program is a great opportunity to get an up-close look at law enforcement. For some, it is a stepping stone to a career in law enforcement. For others, the auxiliary program provides an opportunity to give back to the community while pursuing other careers.

Derby Auxiliary Police are non-sworn and 100% volunteer. Auxiliary Police are routinely assigned to assist full-time personnel in the delivery of quasi-law enforcement services including patrolling the city, maintaining order at public events, performing traffic/ crowd control, enforcing parking violations, assist in the impounding of vehicles, and administering first aid if necessary.

For inquiries and a full list of requirements, please contact AUX Lt. Pizzi @ derbyaux@gmail.com or Sergeant Holly Corilla @ holly.corilla@derbypd.org

Derby Public Library to host author talk

DERBY - Derby Public Library will host a talk by mystery author Deborah Vadas Levison at 6:30 p.m March 29.

"The Crate" explores family intrigue and a real life murder mystery.

Reviewers have called it “gorgeous and poetic,” “heart-wrenching,” and “a brilliant story” and it has won seven literary awards.

Levison’s debut fiction novel, "A Nest of Snakes" is part thriller, part courtroom drama based on real-life abuse at elite New England private schools.

Reviewers call it “a roller-coaster ride of surprising twists” leading to a “staggering climax and an absolutely perfect ending.” Monster Librarian hails "A Nest of Snakes" as one of the fall’s most talked-about novels.

Levison lived in Canada, where she attended University of Toronto and the Royal Conservatory of Music. She now resides in Connecticut, where she lives with three children, two doodles, and one husband.
