Statement of the Gloucester Police Department

GLOUCESTER — Acting Police Chief David Quinn issues the following statement:

“Last week, I was notified that Chief Leonard Campanello would be taking personal time away from the police department, and I was named acting chief because Assistant Chief John McCarthy is on vacation out of the country.

Yesterday, Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken notified the Gloucester Police Department that Chief Campanello has been placed on indefinite administrative leave, pending the outcome of an investigation initiated by the city. I am unable to comment on that investigation or what it entails.

“However, I want to assure our residents, business owners, and visitors that the Gloucester Police Department is fully operational. The work of the department continues, and the safety of all is our mission and number one concern.

“The Gloucester Police Department ANGEL Initiative continues unchanged. The Gloucester Police Department received a participant on Tuesday evening, and the program remains open and able to place participants into recovery programs.

“Assistant Chief McCarthy will return to work on Thursday and assume the role of Acting Chief at that time.

“On behalf of the entire Gloucester Police Department, I offer my sincere thanks to everyone for their patience and understanding at this time.”

Members of the media have also requested information regarding Sgt. Det. Sean Connors. The Gloucester Police Department can confirm that he has been placed on administrative leave effective Sept. 8. The department does not comment on personnel matters.

Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.”   -author unknown
Find a quiet spot to reflect, meditate, and pray today. Remembering the events of 9/11 can bring tears to some, fears for others. Hoping for peace in the hearts and minds of all those impacted.

The Third Banded Seagull Sighting at Captain Joe and Sons

 

Here’s some pictures of today’s banded seagull and ones form year’s past-

Today’s Banded Seagull With Band ID “9EM” Sighted at 1:15PM at Captain Joe and Sons Lobster East Gloucester MA-

 

After some research and a call out for help we discovered that the banding was done by Dr Julie Ellis

You can check out her blog here which details some of the gull sightings and why they band them.

The Gulls Of Appledore

Sightings of gulls banded in Maine by Dr. Julie Ellis

Banding and Tagging
Initial trapping was conducted throughout January, February, and March 2008, utilizing three methods: a walk-in nest trap, Steele’s net, and rocket net. All methods successfully captured the targeted species, although the rocket net and Steele’s net were much more effective and efficient. Starting in the fall of 2008, a net launcher and net gun were exclusively utilized for trapping.

Following capture, all birds are fitted with an aluminum federal leg band. A uniquely numbered colored leg band is placed on the opposite leg of all birds [Picture 1]. Finally, on most birds, a colored, uniquely numbered wing-tag is attached to each wing. These wing-tags make long-distance identification possible, particularly when it is difficult to see or read the leg bands [Pictures 2-4]. Wing-tags are color-coded based on the capture site’s proximity to either Wachusett or Quabbin Reservoir [Picture 5].
