THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, JUly 17, 2026 Page 3 Selectmen salute a retiring police lieutenant lt. Arthur Connors praised as “dedicated,” “helpful,” “phenomenal” and “amazing” liaison to the board By Mark E. Vogler A s the Saugus Police Department’s longtime liaison to the Board of Selectmen, Police Lt. Arthur D. Connors, Jr., spent countless hours over the years collaborating with town officials to address citizen public safety concerns. Over the last decade, nobody in the Saugus Police Department made as many visits to the second floor auditorium to brief selectmen or answer their questions on various issues – many of them having to do with traffic; all of them having to do with making Saugus safer for its citizens. Lt. Connors, who has also served for about a decade as a Town Meeting Member representing Precinct 3, attended his final meeting as the Police Department’s liaison on Tuesday night (July 14) – just days before he retired from the police his hard work, helpfulness and dedication to the Town of Saugus,” Board of Selectmen Chair Debra Panetta said. “Lt. Connors has been a selectmen liaison for many, many years. And we appreciate everything he has done, not just to help this board, but to help all of our residents,” she said. The citation read as follows: “To all persons whom these presents shall come.
