These number only about five callers a year. BH also deals with a few calls that it refers to the Fire and Police departments. The numbers of calls annually is quite steady. 7. Lexington Police Department (LPD). Most of the needs of visitors and callers to this agency are channeled to the Family Support Officer, Christina Demambro. Her workload consists mainly of senior residents, problem youth such as runaways, and domestic violence cases. Need for help with transportation is a major item for the seniors, along with requests for fuel assistance and food. She has met with only two homeless adults in the past year. Nearly all of her calls from seniors are effectively taken up by Social Services at the Senior Center, and the Lexington Food Pantry is readily available to help as well. She also makes direct calls for help from state agencies and the staff of the Concord Courthouse. LPD has responded to about 100 cases in the past year. The numbers are rising because the position of Family Support Officer was vacated during the town budget cutback in 2004 and news has circulated that it is currently restored to the staff. Many of the adolescent cases reach her from the public schools of Lexington. when couples are conflicting but do not want to be served by LPD, the officer refers them to the social agency Wayside, now located in Milford. A booklet about where and who to turn to in Lexington would be a significant help in meeting the needs of people who reach the LPD. A teen center would also be an urgently helpful resource for the town. 8. Lexington Public Schools (LPS). Lexington High is staffed and organized to identify and provide assistance to students in need through its Guidance and Nursing personnel. Staff in these units include administrators, guidance counselors, registered nurses, and outreach workers. They maintain a procedure in which all new and transfer students register with them upon entry. ~n
