BLANDFORD, Mass. — If you're looking for help in Blandford, you may need to look elsewhere for some services.
According to a Facebook post, the entire Blandford Police Department resigned on Monday night, effective immediately.

Interim Police Chief Roberta Sarnacki and three officers submitted their resignations in a letter, citing poor equipment and unsafe working conditions.
The officers said the town's police cruisers are in such bad shape they often have to answer calls in their personal vehicles. They said their police radios don't work in some parts of the town and their poorly fitting bulletproof vests are beyond expiration dates.
State police said on Tuesday all 911 calls from Blandford for police assistance are being routed to troopers in Russell.
Blandford is home to about a 1,200 people - and State Police say troopers have responded to both routine and emergency calls in Blandford for decades.
The officers on the force said they regret leaving the town without coverage, but have no other choice because their own safety has been put at risk.
