DRACUT — Who is a mystery but two of Boston’s “best” comedians will perform when the Northeastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council Foundation Inc. hosts its annual comedy night next month to raise money for training programs for police officers in northeastern Massachusetts.
The event is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 1, at Four Oaks Country Club, 1 Clubhouse Lane, Dracut. Doors open at 6 p.m. The program includes a cheese and cracker display, cocktail reception, a full buffet-style dinner, dessert and coffee.
Tickets are $75 per person, or $750 for a table of 10. There are several sponsorship opportunities that range in cost from $250 to $2,000.
NEMLEC allows member agencies to call in the group to respond to emergencies that smaller departments may not be equipped to handle.
Proceeds will assist NEMLEC’s training programs, including NEMLEC SWAT/RRT/K-9 training, NEMLEC Motor Unit annual training, NEMLEC STARS training, basic and advanced criminal investigation training, school and business safety summits, and active shooter training.
The programs are available to officers in the NEMLEC region, which is comprised of 65 law enforcement agencies in Middlesex and Essex counties.
The money also will be used to support local charities, including Cops for Kids with Cancer, which supports families who are struggling with childhood cancer.
Those who would like to buy a ticket or table, donate a raffle or auction item, or become a sponsor for the event, should contact Executive Director Sharon Crowley at 978-852-3589 or by email at nemlecfoundation@yahoo.com.
