In a graduation ceremony of pomp and circumstance held at Central Connecticut State University’s Welte Hall, Officer Alexander Scata completed his training at the Connecticut Police Academy and became Suffield’s newest police officer. Officer Scata was one of the 45 men and women from police departments across the state recognized for their successful completion of an intensive 25-week curriculum of academics and practical skills for new police officers. Officer Scata, age 23, is a lifelong resident of Farmington. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice from Mount Ida College.

September is a wonderful time of year with kids back at school, the onset of cooler evenings and opportunities for social gatherings like Suffield on the Green.
Mitch and Sandra Charkiewicz saw a grey wolf, resembling the one in this internet photo, cross their back yard going into St. Joseph Church property one evening in early August.
Planning is beginning for the anniversary celebration, and we need your help to make it the party of the century!
