Goldberg speaks at post

Capt. Steve Goldberg, a 15-year veteran of the Westbrook Police Department, was the guest speaker for October at American Legion Post 62. Goldberg spoke about a variety of issues, according to Post Commander Dennis Marrotte.

Goldberg is a native of the Greater Boston area and a 2007 graduate of Saint Joseph’s College in Standish. He has worked in many areas and departments within the Westbrook Police Department, along with working with the American Legion on organizing Memorial Day and Veterans Day ceremonies.
