The chief of police in Cohasset (MA) has announced to local citizens that the police officers hired for the summer tourist / vacation season will remain on the force for an indeterminate period of time as the community continues to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.
The agency said in a written announcement that the seasonal force—consisting of 12 officers—patrol duties usually end after Labor Day, but "as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic their duties have been extended into the fall."
