Job Lot donates protective supplies to JPD

Thanks to the generosity of Ocean State Job Lot, Johnston police officers will now have additional layer of protection during the coronavirus pandemic.

Johnston Police Chief Joseph Razza, Deputy Chief Mark Vieira, and the entire Johnston Police Department were recently provided with a donation of a pallet full of hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, and other personal protective equipment for use at their station, in police cruisers, and in the community.

“We greatly appreciate this donation from Ocean State Job Lot,” Chief Razza said. “In a day and age of uncertainty, it’s reassuring to know that our local business are there to show their support during these unprecedented times.”

Store Leader Elia Balona said that the store was happy to provide the supplies and hoped that they would help Johnston’s officers and staff healthy. This was the second major donation to the department from Job Lot, which also recently provided masks, contactless thermometers and cleaning supplies.
