On Day 20 of our #25DaysofKindness, we made an $800.00 donation to the fuel assistance program at the Holden Congregational Church. (We also made a little gift to our wonderful friend, Pastor Linette George, picture here receiving the funds from Lt. @Ed_Benjamin79.) 👍
Holden PD wants to congratulate @Town_of_Holden resident, Ed Davis, on his 2nd amateur mixed martial arts victory with @nefights. Ed trains with our own "Ed," Lt. @Ed_Benjamin79 of Titan Athletics in Brewer, and we were happy to see both of Eddie's fighters get the "W." 👍👏🥊🥋
While we were reluctant to re-visit this tragic event from yesterday, we also wanted to say that we believe driver-impairment was a factor. It is for reasons like this, with the help of grant-funding from @SafeHighways4ME, that we conduct so much enforcement on this busy road...
For the 2nd year-in-a-row, Lt.@Ed_Benjamin79 has been recognized by the @SafeHighways4ME and the Maine Criminal Justice Academy for his amazing work as a Drug Recognition Expert! In his less than 7 years with the @Town_of_Holden, he has been involved in 55 OUI investigations. 👍
Tonight the @Town_of_Holden Police Department will be joining law enforcement agencies across the nation in stepping-up our O.U.I. traffic-safety enforcement for #MADD's #saturationsaturday. Help us keep our roadways safe by designating a sober driver! @MADDOnline 👮👮♀️👮♂️🚨
Tomorrow is #SaturationSaturday. Across the nation you'll see checkpoints, increased DUI patrols, and other enforcement efforts aimed at preventing impaired driving and stopping people who make the 100% preventable choice. #NoMoreVictims
Wow! Look who's 43 today! It's our own police lieutenant and resident 2nd degree Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt, @Ed_Benjamin79! This South American import is way too impressive to describe in only 280 @Twitter characters, so we'll just say, "Happy Birthday, 'el tee'!!" 😉👏💯%!
Great job by Officer Stephen Day and Lt. @Ed_Benjamin79, who ran close to 9 miles yesterday in the @SpecialOMaine Torch Run! Here they're pictured downtown in the @CityofBangorME at the conclusion of the race. (The elderly man in the middle was their 'escort.' 😉)
Lt. @Ed_Benjamin79 and Officer Stephen Day from the @Town_of_Holden Police Department had a great two days instructing officers from Maine police agencies in Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement! (And thank you to @amatosinc in Holden and @Hobbsdude for feeding us! 👊)
Due to the excellent work of two @Town_of_Holden police officers last night, the largest single seizure of fentanyl in the HISTORY of our police department was made. In addition to a handgun, roughly $45,000.00 in illegal drugs were removed from circulation. #busylittletown
We just wanted to give a 'shout out' & congratulations to Eva Benjamin for earning High Honors AND receiving the Maine Student Leadership Award at @HermonHS! The amazing daughter of @Ed_Benjamin79 a great kid! And on top of that, she just last season became a @MaineIceHockey fan!
We're gettin' ready for our first-ever, "Free Fuel Friday," where a few lucky @Town_of_Holden residents will get the chance to win a FREE Leadbetter's Super Stop gas card! Stay tuned for details on how YOU can nominate someone to get a little 'help at the pump' this month!
We REALLY appreciate the BDN and @HarrisonBDN & Linda Coan O'kresik doing this wonderful story on @Ed_Benjamin79! Our 'el tee' continues to amaze, inspire, teach and lead us here at the @Town_of_Holden Police Department. We are proud of HIM, and grateful to Linda and Judy! 👍👊
