New recruits

At a special meeting of the North Haven Board of Police Commissioners held this week, three police department recruits were sworn in: Reid Singewald, Lundrim Dauti and Shawn Grube.

In a social media post, the North Haven Police Department said the recruits will begin training at the Connecticut Police Academy in Meriden in early July. "We wish them the best of luck and look forward to working with them upon completing their initial training," the NHPD stated.

North Haven residents Mikayla Rapuano and Matthew De Rosa were selected to receive scholarships from the Amity Charitable Trust. Rapuano, who will attend Marist College in the fall, was awarded the Anastasio Family prize; De Rosa received the final installment of his four-year Irene & Enzo Montesi Family scholarship.

De Rosa will be entering his senior year at Quinnipiac University, where he is studying accounting.

Rapuano plans to pursue a degree in criminal justice at Marist.

This year, the Amity Club of New Haven awarded 35 scholarships totaling $107,000 to students in the greater New Haven area.
