State-of-the-Art Wellness Center Opened
The Chelsea Police Department has a new wellness
center full with state-of-the art fitness equipment.
The Command Staff has long been a proponent of
the wellness program. In fact, Captain David
Bachelor initiated the inception of the Wellness
Program several years ago and became a driving
force in 2012 for a renovation of the aging facility.
As the plans of the new Wellness Center took its
shape, Captain Thomas Dunn acting in capacity as
the Commander of the Professional Standards
Division took on a significant role in the renovation
this year. Captain Dunn acknowledged a few
factors played a role to get the fitness center
renovation completed but pointed out that the
purchasing of the new equipment became a reality
largely due to the generosity of Chief Kyes after he
laid down his own money for the equipment.
