Shutesbury police chief presenting self-protection talk

SHUTESBURY — Police Chief Kristin Burgess will lead an informational program on safety awareness and self-protection on Thursday, Sept. 14, at 6:30 p.m. at the Shutesbury Community Church, 6 Town Common Road.

The program, which was postponed from July, is open to the public. It is part of an ongoing series of public service and educational programs hosted by the church.

Refreshments will be served.
