  • PATCHES STILL AVAILABLE: The Wilmington Police Department is selling commemorative patches for Peace Officer Memorial Day during the month of May. 100% of the proceeds will go to The Greg Hill Foundation, which will then directly support the family of Waltham MA Police Department Officer Paul Tracey. Officer Tracey tragically lost his life in the line of duty on December 6, 2023, leaving behind his wife and two children.
