(Athol, MA) On April 6, in an abundance of caution, Athol Police Department has closed the front lobby to visitors. The public is encouraged to call (978) 249-3232 with any questions or concerns, and 911 as always for an emergency. The lobby will be monitored by dispatch for anyone who might have an emergency but no other way to reach Athol Police.
