Owego Police Department to host open house

The Owego Police Department will be holding an open house to tour the facility at 90 Temple St. in Owego on Saturday, March 5 between the hours of 2 and 4 p.m. Meet Chief Karen Vinti and get reacquainted with some of the seasoned as well as some of the newest officers.

This open house is part of an ongoing community effort to educate and inform the public about the workings of the Owego Police Department and highlight the departments’ importance in the village.

Sandra Knapp-Dunbar, owner of Dunbar Antiques and The ‘Erb Lady, has hosted several well attended ‘Breakfast with the Chief’ early morning gatherings at the Owego Parkview Restaurant which are being held monthly. The next ‘Breakfast with the Chief’ will be scheduled in April with a date to be announced.

All are welcomed to attend the open house. New equipment has been added and many improvements have been made on the inside since the 2011 flood.

Donuts and beverages will be served.
