Officer Priscilla Ribeiro was awarded the Arthur W. Regan Award today for her initiative and leadership in bringing National Night Out back to Somerville. The Artie Regan Memorial Award is given to an SPD Employee whose work in the community goes beyond the call of duty. Given just a few weeks to organize, she immediately began collecting donations, marketing, and connecting with local businesses and vendors to make National Night Out an unforgettable night for the community. Working with over 70+ city departments, vendors, sponsors and ensuring free food and dessert for all constituents, Officer Ribeiro’s leadership and positive attitude remained constant. We thank Officer Ribeiro for her continued commitment to our Somerville community and are proud to present this award to her.
