Officer Kate Ciarleglio joined in Levy's sentiments.

Jack and Suzanne Testani had a special reason to stop in since their son, Alexander, is a Greenwich Police officer. The couple live in Trumbull, but Suzanne works at the Greenwich Senior Center while Jack works in Stamford. Both are elected officials in Trumbull, and they said they appreciate how the event helps tie police with the community.
"It humanizes the police department to the populace," Suzanne Testani said. "It gets them to understand they are not just responsible for law enforcement but they they are also someone they can turn to in a time of need."
