Bridgewater Police Introduce Contest to Make the Most Creative Face Mask

April 10, 2020 by

BRIDGEWATER — The Bridgewater Police Foundation is launching a new contest that encourages people to create the most creative face mask.

Contest participants must make a homemade mask and send a picture wearing the mask to the Bridgewater Police 5K & 1M Kids Fun Run Facebook page, @BridgewaterPolice5K, to be entered into the contest.

Anyone is welcome to participate and you do not have to be a Bridgewater resident. Entries will be accepted through Monday, May 4. The winners will be selected and announced later that week.

The top three winners deemed by the Bridgewater Police Foundation to have the most creative masks will receive free entry to the Bridgewater Police 5K & 1M Kids Fun Run race and a $50 gift card.

Those who submit a photo for the contest agree that the photo can be publicized on social media and used for Bridgewater Police 5K promotional purposes.

“We hope this contest can be a fun project that helps occupy everyone staying at home and spreads some positivity throughout the community and on social media, while also resulting in a mask that helps keep you safe,” Chief Delmonte said.

About the Bridgewater Police 5K & 1M Fun Run

The Bridgewater Police Department hosts its 5K & 1M Kids Fun Run on the last Saturday in September each year to raise money for charity and local programs. The 2020 race will be held on Saturday, Sept. 26. The race includes a 5K USA Track & Field certified course for adults and a one-mile fun run for children. Proceeds from past races have supported organizations such as Massachusetts Vest-A-Dog and America’s VetDogs.

Bridgewater Police Department Reminds Residents That Fireworks Are Illegal Statewide

June 27, 2025 By Cody Shepard

As the Fourth of July holiday approaches quickly, we would like to remind residents that the recreational use of fireworks is illegal in Massachusetts.

According to the Massachusetts Department of Fire Services, there have been more than 550 fires and explosions involving illegal fireworks in Massachusetts in the past five years. Six firefighters were injured in these incidents, and damages were estimated at nearly $1 million.

Between 2019 and 2023, Massachusetts medical facilities treated more than 200 people for burns and other injuries associated with fireworks. Two dozen people were treated for severe burn injuries that covered 5% or more of the victim’s body.

The possession, use and sale of fireworks without a professional license is against the law in Massachusetts and punishable by confiscation, fine or imprisonment. Fines range from $100 to $1,000, and some violations could carry a one-year prison sentence.

Please leave fireworks to the professionals!

In Bridgewater, the Bridgewater 4th of July Committee is hosting a professional fireworks display, scheduled to begin at 9:30 p.m. on Friday, July 4, at Legion Field, located at 175 Bedford Street.
