On a rainy December day, the Milford community came together to raise money for fallen Bristol police officers Lt. Dustin DeMonte and Sgt. Alex Hamzy, who were killed in October in an apparent ambush. Hundreds of people donated thousands of dollars, and people plunged into the cold waters of Long Island Sound. Milford Police Chief Keith Mello spoke and thanked the officers from Bristol and Milford. The fire depart supplied their emergency truck for the plungers to change into dry clothes after the swim.
