I had a prowler around my house. I called 911 and the State Police arrived almost before I could hang up the phone.

They instantly calmed me and were kind and professional. They put their lives on the line every day in more ways than we can possibly fully understand. We are lucky to live in Central Vermont knowing these people are truly here to serve and protect us. I am grateful!

I, as a retired dog trainer, was also very pleased that they had a K-9, they made a great team.

I thank the Middlesex barracks State Police!
