Berlin Police Get Bonuses for Staying | Dover News

Berlin’s police department just got a morale boost — town council approved one-time retention bonuses for all sworn officers, funded by savings from unfilled positions. Originally budgeted for 15 officers, the force dwindled to just nine last year, but those savings are now being used to reward the dedicated officers who kept things running despite the shortage. Chief Howard Drewer praised their professionalism and extra shifts, calling it a way to show appreciation for the hardworking team that chose to stay and serve. Bonuses were tailored to each officer’s tenure and role, making it a smart, heartfelt move to keep good people on the job. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
