"I'm really surprised," one mom said as she watched her kids sled down the small hill. "Normally, this place is really full on a day like today, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of people out here." It might have had something to do with the advisory message issued by the Darien Police Department, warning citizens to stay off the roads. "Wet, heavy snow makes driving h…

Darien Detective Duo Serves Students Darien Detective Duo Serves Students Darien Detective Duo Serves Students
Darien Detective Duo Serves Students Mark Cappelli and Sam Boccuzzi spend their time trying to dispel the notion many kids have that cops are the bad guys. As detectives in the Darien Police Department's Youth Division, they work closely with students at the Depot and at Darien High School. "The challenge is to get kids to see that cops are normal people. This may be our job, but we had lives before we were police officers," Cappelli said. Boccuzzi agreed. "We want them to understand that every law is created to keep people safe and protect their property," he said. Boccuzzi said they are successful in conveying their message …
