New BPD equipment comes care of the Berlin Lions Club Citizen report
Thanks to the Berlin Lions Club, local police now have a piece of equipment they had been lacking.

Fittingly, the presentation was made at the Berlin Lions fairgrounds, where the civic group hosts its largest fundraiser each fall. Mike Miller, owner of The Salty Dog Tavern Plainville, stands behind the bar at the business, which is under renovation in the former Hop Haus space at 24 Whiting St. in Plainville.
