We have to say farewell to veteran Yarmouth Police School Resource Officer Sean Brewer as he begins his retirement on the last day of school. SRO Brewer has served for almost thirty years with half of that as a school resource officer to the D-Y Schools. Sean’s experience and dedication were invaluable to the safe operation of the schools he served. SRO Brewer joined the Yarmouth Police SRO unit in 2011, doubling its size, when he applied for the assignment at Mattacheese Middle School. SRO Brewer brought a high level of police experience to his post, having previously served as a police officer in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Mashpee, Massachusetts before joining the Yarmouth Police. SRO Brewer coached both soccer and softball and made relationship with many students by imparting knowledge and wisdom while teaching the play of the game. SRO Brewer moved to the new Dennis-Yarmouth Intermediate Middle School when Mattacheese was decommissioned. He oversaw the startup of that building's security system and training of the now merged staff, with faculty and staff coming from both Mattacheese and the simultaneously decommissioned Nathanial H. Wixon Intermediate School. Sean Brewer founded the Yarmouth Police comfort dog program by acquiring Finley, the school resource dog. Sean pushed through a lengthy and exhaustive approval and acquisition process and Finley joined the team, helping people wherever she was needed.
We will miss Sean immensely and we wish him well for all the tomorrows that follow.
