February Recap

BTPD Introduces New Police Uniforms

After a thorough evaluation and with input from the entire Police Department, the BTPD unveiled their new uniforms in a new color, style and design to be more functional, cost-effective and durable. Chief Brian Pesce proudly announced this change for first time in the department's 47-years. We are pleased to report that the bulk of this uniform change was paid with drug forfeiture funds.
