A spa day for Carmel’s favorite police officer

Generally speaking, you don’t usually lose your head when going for a little “rest and relaxation” at a spa or retreat, but Carmel’s well-known man in uniform is experiencing just that while getting some spiffing up at the sculptor’s studio in New Jersey. Restoration of the lifescale bronze by Seward Johnson is taking place at The Johnson Atelier. The sculpture is having the antenna repaired and all coloration refurbished. He should be back in place in August, patrolling and greeting visitors 24/7, looking and feeling his best.
