Informing and Engaging Southampton's Residents
On Wednesday April 10th 7pm at Norris School there will be public forum for a public safety building. All residents are encouraged to attend. This will provide more information on what is being proposed and the current state of the Fire and Police department buildings. Please share and inform any residents that would be interested that don't have social media. Thank you for your support, we look forward to seeing you there.
Frequently Asked Questions-FAQ
Trivia Quiz Contest-Southampton Police, Fire/EMS
The Public Safety Building Committee is initiating a Trivia Quiz Contest that is intended to be one of a series of fun exercises this winter that will test your knowledge about Southampton's Police and Fire/EMS Departments. As you may know, the Town is working towards designing and building a public safety complex. This quiz is a first step in a multi-faceted effort to engage the community and learn why this is such an important need.
These tidbits of history and today's reality will appear on the Town's website www.townofsouthampton.org and its official Facebook page: Town of Southampton, Massachusetts, as well as on other social media platforms every couple of weeks between February and April. There will also be paper copies at the Senior Center and Library. All responses will be anonymous, but we will be able to see wrong responses and further build our outreach campaign accordingly. Each correct response is worth two points. You may wish to keep track of your points for each of these Quizzes, because, per an honor system, we will have 'winners' at the beginning of May. Details will be announced later but it could include a ride on the fire truck or visiting the police booking area (voluntarily of course)!
Each Quiz will be ‘open’ for 10 days for your response. We invite you to join in the fun!
Thanks for taking part in the trivia Quiz contest
