Liz Cavo, wife of Danbury Mayor Joe Cavo, has a background as a trauma nurse and she realized a need for Danbury K-9 officers Dirk, Cael, and Gunner and made special kits for each of them. The emergency packets include: TacMed K9 Handler Trauma Kits, oxygen masks, and Narcan.

Liz Cavo reached out to the Danbury Police Department to see what resources the K-9 handler officers have available to them in the field. When the First Lady realized there were extra items that they could carry to assist in emergency, she and Mayor Joe began creating the individual backpacks. Now, all three K-9 handlers are outfitted with the Narcan, TacMed K9 Handler Trauma Kits and oxygen masks.

Mrs. Cavo had this to say of the project:

“I wanted to do something for our police department, and some people forget that our K9s are officers, too,” said Liz. “There are times when we need a little more assurance that things are taken care of for all of our officers.”

Mayor Cavo added he hopes officers never have to use them.

Liz Cavo and Mayor Joe are two of the kindest, most giving people I've ever met. Both put their community first and love the City of Danbury. Just the other day, I was sitting on a bench outside the Library when the Cavos came to say hi and we started talking about our kids.

My children are much younger than the Cavo's adult children, but when I asked Liz about hers, she lit up like a Christmas tree. She is a wonderful person and this is a nice thing she did for the Danbury Police Department and the City.

Danbury Man Shares His UFO Eyewitness Story and Photos

Everyone has a story to tell and some are more interesting than others. Recently, I was contacted by a Danbury man who had read an article I’d written about UFO’s and he wanted to tell me his story and share his photos.
 
From the opening sentence, I knew it was a story I wanted to hear and the pictures were even more intriguing. This is a UFO story from a Danbury man named Bill Salvador, in his own words.
