Gloucester Police Kops N Kids Program to Host Visit with Santa Claus
| GLOUCESTER 一 Chief Edward Conley is pleased to report that the Gloucester Police Kops N Kids program will host a visit with Santa Claus at the Gloucester Police Community Impact Unit’s offices on Middle Street on Saturday. |
WHEN:
| Saturday, Dec. 3, from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. |
WHERE:
| Gloucester Police Department Community Impact Unit, 67 Middle St., Gloucester, MA |
WHAT:
| Santa Claus will visit the Gloucester Police Community Impact Unit to visit with community children and to sit for photographs. The event and photos are free, and there will be festive treats available for kids and guardians alike. |
| Members of the Community Impact Unit will decorate their conference room with a Christmas tree and festive backdrop for family photos with Santa. To view a video preview of the decorations, click here. |
| During the event, the Gloucester High School hockey team will be collecting new toys in their original packaging as part of a toy drive, so guests are encouraged to bring gifts if they are able. |
| Children are also asked to bring letters to Santa, along with a return address in case Santa has time to write back. |
| Kops N Kids launched in 2016, under the guidance of Lt. Jeremiah Nicastro, as a way for officers to engage with children in our community. Oftentimes when children first engage with a police officer it is during a traumatic event. Kops n Kids changes that by making a positive connection at a young age. |
Community Impact Unit Officer Joe Parady, and School Resource Officers Mike Scola and Pete Sutera have grown the Kops n Kids program to include Ace, a Community Resource Dog, SRO_Gaming an interactive online gaming platform, the Youth Anglers Program, and after school programs. |

1939 Naval Mission Out of Gloucester?
Jeanne Beckwith writes:
My name is Jeanne Beckwith. I’m a “working” playwright, which is a euphemism for a playwright who is not famous and not rich, but I have won awards and had productions from San Francisco to Istanbul. Right now, I am working on a play about Gloucester and a part of its history that is rather cloudy. I am hoping that someone in the “Good Morning Gloucester” audience might have heard something about this from their parents or grandparents? It was a long time ago, but maybe something like this has come up before.
I have a strong attachment to Gloucester because my father met my mother while he was working out of Gloucester. He was in the Navy in 1939; his boat, under the guise of a commercial fishing vessel, was going out of Gloucester almost daily, and the crew spent their time “fishing” for German submarines that were patrolling the Atlantic. The war had not officially started yet, and the German subs weren’t supposed to be there, but they were. Occasionally, the subs would surface and the German submariners would buy fish from my father’s boat.
To date I can’t find any documentation of any of this in Naval records. I do know that Gloucester was not the only place this was going on; undercover boats were going out on patrol all along the East Coast. But as far as the Navy is concerned, for a couple of years my father and the rest of his crew did not exist. I worry that maybe this is not a totally true story or I’m remembering it incorrectly, but I don’t think so. I can’t imagine my Dad lying, but he might have exaggerated.
If anyone out there knows anything about this “tale,” I would love to hear from you. I live in Vermont, and I haven’t been back to Gloucester since the world closed down, but I hope to make it back down soon to snoop around. In the meantime, I will continue to write the play, reminding myself that, as a playwright, I can always just make stuff up—in fact, a sea serpent sighting will almost certainly be involved. Life goes on, and so will I. Thank you for your time and attention.
Sincerely,
Jeanne Beckwith
