​The Millis Police Department wants the community to know that we will remain committed to this mission statement no matter the circumstance. We stand in solidarity with our community, outraged, saddened and angered at what happened to Mr. Floyd. What happened to Mr. Floyd is an attack on everything that the law enforcement profession stands for. The actions in Minneapolis is not a reflection of all police officers across the country, especially the officers of the Millis Police Department. Our department will continue to protect, support, and serve our community members with the utmost integrity and professionalism during these difficult times. Our country may be divided on some issues, but there should be no disagreement when it comes to equality.
