Messaae from
Dear Fellow Bostonians:
Publie safety is one of my greatest concerns both as Mayor, and as a
life-long resident of Boston. That is why I am committed to providing
you with a Police Department that is supplied with the personnel,
eciuipment, technology and skills to remain among the most effective
municipal public safety agencies in the nation.
Since I took office, I have authorized the expansion of the police
force by an additional 531 officers plus 50 more through 1997, and the
acquisition of over $20 million in field equipment and computer
technology to ensure that our officers have the state-of-the-art tools to
handle the increasingly difficult problems of crime and violence within
the neighborhoods of Boston.
Boston is a great city. I have experienced all of its joys and sorrows
during the past few decades. At each turn, however, I have been
awestruck by the resiliency, vitality, intellect and compassion of its
citizens. Boston will always be one of America's venerable cities. It is the
guardian of this nation's history. It blends the old with the new like no
other place in the country. Nevertheless, what makes Boston such an
extraordinary American city is its people. We come from all walks of life
and ethnic origins. Bostonians are hard-working, patriotic, family-
oriented citizens with the spirit to overcome adversity and share in the
triumphs of life. 1 am always proud to tell people that I am from
Boston. There is no other city like this in America, and no place that I
would rather live.
The Boston Police Department exemplifies what this city represents
- tradition, honor, commitment, strength, and innovation. Our police
officers have dedicated themselves to providing public safety. They
uniquely the daily triumphs and tragedies of the human experience, and
stand ready to sacrifice themselves for their fellow man. The hard work
that these officers do is reflected in the crime statistics for the city. Crime
in the city of Boston is at a twenty-five year low. 1 am confident that these
numbers will continue to fall because of the dedication and
perseverance of our police force.
I will always do all that I can to suppon the efforts of our police
officers. They are among the finest public servants in the city, and
together we will build a safer and more enjoyable city for Boston's
residents and visitors alike.
Sincerely,
,-^^::^<»>*^-»r
Thomas M. Menino
Mayor of Boston
Message from
It is my pleasure to present the Boston Police Department 1995
Annual Report. Our 14 1st year was a time of growth and change, as
the organization continued its implementation of Neighborhood
Policing. The results were reduced serious crime across the city and
growing trust between the Department and the people we serve. We are
delivering on the promise of partnership government that Mayor
Thomas Menino articulated in his State of the City message in January of
1995.
We hit the ground running by undertaking a comprehensive
Strategic Planning and Community Mobilization Project (STCMP) that
involved over 400 community stakeholders and first-line police officers,
organized into 16 teams. Every district and neighborhood took part. All
went forward under the banner of the Mission Statement adopted at the
outset:
We dedicate ourselves to work in parttiership with the community
to fight crime, reduce fear and improve the quality of life in every
neighborhood. Our mission is Neighborhood Policing.
Through the SP&CMP we enabled neighborhood residents, officers
and other stakeholders to identify and prioritize the goals for public
safety in Boston for 1995 and beyond. We are working together in
dozens upon dozens of partnerships, at every level. Early indications at
the close of the year suggested that we will see important progress on
these goals in 1996.
One of the keys to our early success has been support from the
federal and state levels. Important, ongoing investments have been
made by the US Department of Justice, the US Department of the
Treasury and its Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and by the
state Executive Office of Public Safety. The Boston delegations in the US
Congress and in the Great and General Court of the Commonwealth
have supported these grants. We look to continue to build these
partnerships in 1996.
Boston was served in 1995 by a corps of dedicated and honest police
officers, who worked, true to their oaths, to the highest standards of
fairness and integrity. They were privileged to serve a richly diverse and
vibrant city, whose dedicated neighborhood leaders worked in
partnership with them. This report is their story.

Police Commissioner
While eveiy police department in the nation is struggling with the
knowledge that community policing is necessary for safer, less fearful
cities, the range of approaches and results is wide. Upon assuming
office in early 1994, Commissioner Evans gave top priority to this
transformation in policing and embarked upon a strategic planning
process designed to chart a comprehensive approach to development of
a citywide implementation plan for Neighborhood Policing in every
aspect of police work in Boston. His plan was to develop a policing
strategy that would reduce crime and fear by pushing ownership and
accountability to the street-level. But there existed no vehicle, no
applicable method, for getting a large, diverse city and its police
depanment to move from a reactive to a proactive approach. The
principles that the Department embraced needed to be embodied in our
programming, and this became the challenge. Key components of
Bostons pro-active approach to policing:
• Increased ownership and accountability among command
and patrol staff
• Incorporating prevention and problem solving approaches at
every level of operations and,
• Building partnerships with stakeholders on planning and tactical
issues.
The Strategic Planning project was the vehicle developed to enable
the police department and the community to make the shift to
Neighborhood Policing together. It was the road map for the thoughtful,
inclusive and flexible planning process necessary for successful change
in the big-city context. The project enabled the Department:
• To set a well defined direction and clear vision for the depanment
and for each District and Bureau. This vision has widely shared
"buy-in" as it is created by those most affected by it — the officers
and city residents, businesses, stakeholders, etc.
• To create the strategic plan to shift to a pro-active style of policing; a
Neighborhood Policing strategy that reduces crime and fear by
identifying and addressing community priorities, in partnership
with the community and other stakeholders,
• To articulate a set of goals and objectives, and a city^ade public
safety plan, with which to achieve this new direction, and to involve
line police personnel and citizen-stakeholders in the process of
creating that plan.
• To deepen the partnerships with the neighborhoods and all neigh
borhood stakeholders, and to understand the community is its
own greatest asset for its defense and improvement.
• To acquire new planning and problem solving skills for
individual managers, the department as an organization, and for
community partners.
The project was designed and began in early 1994, through the
Office of Strategic Planning and Resource Development. By the end of
1995, the results were unmistakably positive. All of the above objectives
are being addressed. Progress is visible through the publication of the
sixteen volume Strategic Plan for Neighborhood Policing and the many
innovative community partnerships currently working to achieve the
plan's goals.
This annual report celebrates the dedication and successes of the
community residents, businesses, police officers, universities, non-profit
agencies, religious leaders and others who made the Strategic Planning
Project into a blueprint for Neighborhood Policing; and who will
continue to work together to solve local problems whenever they arise.

• In 1995, the staff of the Neighborhood Crime Watch Unit conducted
274 crime watch meetings in Boston residences, helped 72 new
crime watch groups get started, trained 3,724 residents in crime
watch techniques, and conducted or attended 240 related
meetings.
• National Night Out was celebrated for the 10th year in a row and
Boston ranked 5th in the country for excellence of events. The Unit
presided over a poster contest and awards luncheon "Together We
Make A Safer Neighborhood" for Boston Students; a "Salute to the
Neighborhoods" reception where Crime Fighter of the Year, Top
Ten Crime Watch Groups of the Year, and Friend of the
Neighborhood Crime Watch Unit awards were announced; a dozen
neighborhood gatherings including Cambridge and Quincy and a
cross-city multi-vehicle cavalcade led by Mayor Thomas Menino and
Police Commissioner Paul Evans.
S^^^S
• Unit Staff were consulted by police departments in Cambridge,
Quincy, Lawrence, Lowell, Tewksbuiy and Greenfield Wheelock
College, Northeastern University, Boston Conservatory of Music and
Chamberlain Junior College. Staff also conducted trainings for two
classes of Boston Police Student Officers at the Boston Police
Academy.
Citizen or citizen's group in partnership with
district:
Eva DiMaggio is a member of the Chelsea St. Crime Watch in
East Boston which was named a Top Ten Crime Watch Group of the
Year. Over the course of a year she and her neighbors worked with Capt.
Robert Cunningham of District A-7 to reclaim their sense of
neighborhood. The street was experiencing illegal liquor sales, drug
dealing, prostitution, noise and general disruption. It finally erupted
one night into a full scale street fight with tire irons flying past residents
awakened from their sleep. Much of the trouble emanated from one
house inhabited by unsupervised teenagers, prostitutes and drug
dealers. The crime watch group worked closely with the Crime Watch
Unit, the District and the city to shut the house down so that once again
they could enjoy their homes in peace and safety.
Ron Cheney is the founder of the East Springfield Street
Crime Watch in the South End which worked with Capt. Charles
Celluci and Police Officers from District D-4 and Boston's Ten Most
Wanted Task Force to stop drug dealing and prostitution going on in a
condominium on the street. The crime watch group worked closely with
Judi Wright of the Crime Watch Unit and collected information for the
police who were able to arrest the drug dealing owner of the condo, get
the unit foreclosed, sold, and renovated.

The Boston Police Department's Strategy to Prevent Youth
Violence: Prevention, intervention and Enforcement
The Boston Police Department's strategy to prevent youth violence
mirrors the Departments philosophy on neighborhood policing. Boston
police officers, in their daily interactions with youth, operate within the
principles of prevention, problem solving and partnership. Prevention
through the use of district and community based education and
recreation programming. Problem solving by communicating with youth
in a listening mode in order to get to the root of problems and create
alternatives for young people; and partnerships by consistently working
with other stakeholders in the community to identify resources for youth.
Prevention
The Youth Service Program began in January of 1993 and has
effectively reached out to over 10,000 in - school youth. Currently the
BPD has 15 Youth Service Officers assigned to the ten District stations,
five of whom work in the evening hours. Each officer interacts with the
District's neighborhood schools, youth service agencies and the
neighborhood youth through a variety of prevention and recreation
programs.
Intervention
The Youth Service Providers Network is a Network of youth
service providers in the Roxbury, Mattapan and Dorchester
neighborhoods who have come together in partnership with the Boston
Police Department to better serve at risk youth and their families. The
member agencies within the Network have developed a Case
Management Referral Mechanism which allows police officers to
serve youth and families through just one phone call for a direct referral
to a service agency. The officer simply calls the Network's District based
Licensed Social Worker (LSW) with the name and phone number of a
youth in need of service, and the LSW reaches out to the youth and
family to develop a service provision plan with the Network service
providing agencies.
The Child Witness to Violence Project is a partnership between
District C-11 police officers and Boston City Hospital pediatricians,
emergency room staff and child psychiatrists. Police are trained to assess
the impact of trauma on child and family, and to re-stabilize the family
system in order to support the child. Within the training police are
familiarized with services available and taught how to make the
appropriate referrals. The services offered to youth and their families
are evaluation, intervention, follow up and referrals for long term
services.
The Summer of Opportunity
is a collaboration of the Boston
Police Department, John
Hancock Financial Services and
Northeastern University. It
consists of a thirty-eight week job
training and life skills program
for 40 gang involved 16 and 17
year old youth. After job training,
youth are provided with job
experience through summer jobs
and internships. These are well
paying entry level jobs that
demonstrate that its possible to
make a decent living without
turning to crime. In addition
youth are given leadership
training and mentoring.
Enforcement
Firearms & Violence: Juveniles, Illicit Markets and Fear - In
order to develop a gun strategy the BPD collaborated with Harvard's
Kennedy School of Government, U.S. Attorney's Office, A.T.F., Suffolk
County D.A.'s Office, Department of Probation, and the Boston
Streetworkers program. This Study, Firearms & Violence: Juveniles, Illicit
Markets and Fear, found that 12-17 year olds are the fastest growing
group of people carrying weapons in Boston. In addition to
determining the target population, the goal of this project is to develop
sound strategies to affect both the supply of, and the demand for,
firearms among Boston's youth population. While this is a work in
progress, it has already produced significant enforcement successes.
Operation Scrap Iron - One of our most successful strategies for
dealing with firearms is Operation Scrap Iron. This is an on-going
operation in conjunction with A.T.F., the U.S. Attorney's Office and the
District Attorney's Office. The objective is to target and successfully
prosecute individuals involved in the illegal transportation and sales of
firearms in the City of Boston. With the increase in gun use among
juveniles we see this program as very important to reducing youth
violence.
.flIffsIR
INFORMATION SYSTEMS GROUPS
GOALS FOR 1996:
Provide the technological infrastructure that allows officers
conducting policing activities to access timely and reliable information;
Through the use of computer technology, aid the Boston Police
Department in its assiduous effort to fully implement neighborhood
policing in the City of Boston.
ACHIEVEMENTS IN 1995:
Mobile Data Terminals:
The use of mobile data terminal (MDT) to link officers in patrol cars
to the computer aided dispatch system is being implemented in the
Boston Police Department. To date, Police District C-11, C-6, D-4 and
D-14 are using this innovative piece of technology to communicate with
the dispatch system. In addition, the MDT system puts the Boston Police
Department on the path of accomplishing a vital objective in it's
Neighborhood Policing effort: the Same Officer patrolling and
responding to the Same Neighborhood.
Computer Aided Dispatch:
To ensure that the Boston Police
Department possesses the best
possible computer technology to
support its neighborhood policing
efforts, the Computer Aided Dispatch
(CAD) system was programmed to
provide a variety of information to
the dispatcher during dispatch
operations. The police warning,
address history, gun license warning
and warrant information files are
only a few of the creative features
installed in the new CAD system.
Also, as a part of phase II of the CAD
implementation process, the system
provides 9-1-1 calltakers with a
projected time of assignment for low
priority calls for service.
Detective Case Management:
The Detective Case Management System (DCMS) is a state of the art,
Window-based application designed to give complete case tracking and
management capabilities to detectives in each District. The DCMS
includes several features which assist Detectives in their follow-up
investigations; it records pertinent facts of each case, facts such as
persons involved, crime patterns, MO facts, and follow-up measures
taken.
ID Imaging and Booking System:
The ID hnaging and Booking system is a state-of-the-art system that
will maintain arrest and booking data, digital mug shots, and
fingerprints for all arrestees. Not only does this system significantly
improve the operations of the ID Unit, it is an excellent investigative tool
and a core provider of data for a case management application.
With the ID Imagining System, mug shots are available immediately
to Investigative and Patrol forces. The system supports multiple satellite
booking sites, eliminating the time consuming and costly transportation
of prisoners to a centralized ID facility.
Achievements as related to Neighboriiood Policing
for 1995:
The resectoring of police districts to better enhance sector integrity;
Call Stacking enhancement to the CAD system, and Remote Booking of
arrestees.
Benefits of having a designated beat officer patrol
the same neighborhood:
Through the call holding ( or call stacking) feature on the CAD
system, patrol officers are permitted to stay in the neighborhood where
they can become more familiar with the type of problems impacting the
community.
Accomplishments of individual police officers:
Police Officer Joseph Dahlbeck, Jeffi-y Walcott and Michael
Woodson are responsible for training the Department's personnel on
the various computer systems implemented by the Information System
Group. This is a colossal project. The need for training raises its head
each time a new computer system is installed. These three officers have
consistently met the challenge to provide top of the line training for the
men and women of the Boston Police Department.
Accomplishment of a civilian employee:
Mr. James Fitzpatrick of the Information System Groups effecting
maintains a very complex Wide Area Network (Wan) which is essential to
the integration of the various systems installed in the Boston Police
Department.

A-1 comprises the entire story of Boston within its boundaries, from
the city's oldest settlements to its newest office towers, from its
descendants of the Puritans of 1630 to the newest immigrants in the
mid-1990's. It is a story of diverse neighborhoods with common goals.
In 1995, the district's commitment to Neighborhood Policing saw the
same officers working the same neighborhoods 60 percent of the time;
over 900 drug arrests by the District A-1 Drug Unit; and a Strategic
Planning Team that has provided a public safety plan that addresses the
needs of the diverse communities represented on this committee.
A-1 is home to 31,000 residents, and the weekday population swells
to many times that number, as commuters come to work at the banks,
other financial institutions and other major employers downtown. This
adds another dimension to the diverse demands of downtown Boston
and its adjacent neighborhoods.

Operation Squeeze is an anti-
prostitution program first implemented
in A-1 , and lias since been adopted city-
wide. Thefocus is predominately
geared towards the demand side. It
involves female officers who act in the
role of a prostitute. There are also
officers who are in place for sun/eillance
of the operation. Once the officers are
solicited, the men are arrested. To serve
as a deterrent for fijture activity the
names of the offenders are made public
via local newspapers
GOALS FOR 1996
• To promote morale for District One personnel and the community.
• Influence increased resource allocation to Area A-1.
• Improve line of communication internally and externally
• Increase strategies relative to education and enforcement of sub
stance abuse
• Reduce adverse impact of Big Dig - Central Artery / 3rd Harbor
Tunnel.
Officers Mlaking a Difference
Richard Estrella, Steve Green and Tom Hennessey are A-1 police
officers who work in Charlestown. Day in and day out they work with
the residents in the neighborhood to help solve public safety problems.
No problem is too large and none is too small. They represented the
valor of all the officers of A-1 when they rushed to the scene of a triple
homicide in a local restaurant on November. 1995, running into the
path of armed felons, making one on-scene arrest along with officers
from the Everett Police Department.
Community In Action
Dick Adams, a leader of the Beacon Hill Civic Association, reached
out to the community and police, opening lines of communication as
well as developing a new found respect for one another. He has led by
example, as a neighborhood leader who embraces the diversity of the
district.
Civilian Partner
Irene Galvin was responsible for keeping the A-1 Strategic
Planning Team, the A-1 Neighborhood Advisory Committee and the
Homeless Committee viable and up to date. Her ability to keep diverse
groups together is remarkable. She has been able to individualize the
process by communicating with all neighborhood groups; Charlestown,
North End, Downtown North, Downtown Crossing, Beacon Hill,
Chinatown, and Bay Village. Her work is reflected in A- Is strategic goals
for 1996.

The Academy Homes I housing
development has benefited
significantly from the
enforcement of a Massachusetts
General Law regarding
trespassing. The Boston Police
Department with the assistance
of the Management Company
and Tenant Task Force Members
identified and effectively dealt
with habitual offenders whether
he or she is a resident or non-
resident.
District B-2, comprising the historic neighborhood of Roxbury,
continued a four-year trend in declining serious crime, with a 1995 total
of 7,805 that was over 10 percent below the five-year average for the
district. It was 22 percent below 1990's single-year high in that period.
ACHIEVEIMENTS IN 1995:
Deputy Superintendent Bobbie Johnson, commander of Area B,
attributed the progress to "hard-working officers and determined citizen-
partners." Leading examples of this commitment in 1995 were
innovative policing initiatives in the Uphams Corner and Academy
Homes sections of the district.
The Academy Homes and Uphams Corner efforts are part of a larger
district project, dubbed "One Step Closer." Also under the banner of
One Step Closer, a number of police-sponsored activities have brought
cops and at-risk kids closer together. Examples are:
• Halloween Party and the Spring Dance for Academy Homes youth.
• The summer Harbor Cruise Program.
• The donation of equipment to the Youth Center in the Whittier
Street Public Housing Development.

partners." Leading examples of this commitment in 1995 were

Homes sections of the district.
Officers Making A Difference
At Academy Homes, Sergeant Mark Handrahan and Officer Jack
Fee have worked closely with the tenants task force and the complex's
200 families to address problems with disorder, that historically
contributed to much victimization and crime. Out of the commitment to
finding more effective strategies. Sergeant Handrahan uncovered a little-
used state law that authorizes the housing court to enjoin individuals
from entering the property of subsidized housing, if they have been
demonstrated to have committed crimes there. The initiative has
contributed to significant reductions in calls for service in the area.
In Uphams Corner, Officers Tom Griffiths and James Coyne have
successfully combined strong traditional police work with their ability to
interact and communicate with the residential and business
communities. They, too, get an edge from being innovative, constantly
shifting tactics from walking to mobile, from plain clothes to uniforms,
in order to increase their effectiveness. The merchants in this busy
commercial district are grateful for Coyne and Griffiths, and credit their
efforts for making Uphams Corner a much safer place than it was a year
ago.
On the enforcement side, B-2's decentralized drug control has
delivered exemplary service, under the command of Sergeant-Detective
Jeffery Chancy In Sgt.-Det. Chaney's first four weeks on the job in
October and November, the squad executed five search warrants on
ditig-dealing premises.
The commitment of these officers to improving the quality of life
across Roxbury was manifest in the work of B-2's Strategic Planning
team. Highlights among the goals set are:
• To make drug culture less attractive via positive community values.
• To create and institute a community-wide standard of public order.

Finally, the spirit of B-2 in 1995 is exemplified by Annie Wilcox, the
tireless "right arm" in Deputy Johnson's office. During the Spring of
1995, she spent many off duty
hours at the district digging up
the outside area and planting
flowers in an effort to beautify
the station. As a result of her
efforts, other inside personnel
and local youths became
interested and together they
created one of the better
looking flower gardens in this
area. As a spin-off to their
effort the entire plaza of the
police station, library and the
court house became a
beautification project and
received raves from the
community. Not surprisingly,
Annie's is usually the first
name mentioned when
community residents articulate
the good deeds of a District
staff member.

• To create new and enhance existing community partnerships.
• To ensure acceptance of the strategic plan by police personnel and
the larger community.
• To reduce crime and fear of crime and create a safer environment
for B-3.
ACHIEVEMENTS IN 1995
In 1995, the B-3 community and police made great strides in
creating a Neighborhood Policing approach to solving local problems.
Among our accomplishments during the year were:
• The hiring of a civilian conununity organizer, JuUa Evans.
District B-3 hired Ms. Evans to reach out and build partnerships with the
Mattapan community. Ms. Evans also coordinates local press coverage
of the B-3 activities and accomplishments and provides opportunities to
highlight effective community efforts at crime prevention and
intervention.
• The establishment of the Auto Repair Shop Investigator. In
response to a growing number of complaints from B-3 residents, the
District has established a new resource to deal with problems such as
abandoned cars, street side repairs with oil leaks, tire dumping and
engine part debris, double and triple parking, and other nuisances
related to auto repair shops. Unlawful activities being targeted through
this new program include; unlicensed repair shops, hazardous waste
violations, fire code violations, tax code violations, labor laws, and chop-

Playgrounds and parks that were once
used as an area to conduct criminal
activity, were taken back by the
community and restored to their original
purpose. The areas are used by the
neighborhood groups for crime watch
meetings, and cookouts during warm
months. They also conduct group walk
abouts. Otherneighborhood members

and playground are restored as viable
areas of enjoyment.
enlisted Officer Bobby Connors to address them in partnership with the
business and residential community of B-3.
Officer Connors is establishing an interagency strike team to deal with
these violations, nuisances and hazards. The team will include; the Fire
Dept., the US Dept. of Labor, the City of Boston Inspectional Services
Dept., the Boston Water and Sewer Commission, the Mass. Internal
Revenue Service, and the Mass. Environmental Protection Agency.
• Business District Walking Beats; In every business district, there
are repeated requests for walking officers to work with shopkeepers to
prevent and solve crime problems such as loitering, robbery,
panhandling, shoplifting and other threats specific to the business
communities. In 1995, the District added six new walking beats to cover
three primary business areas. New partnerships are already being
formed and the teams have made a positive impact on the business
development in Mattapan.
Officers Making A Difference
Sgt. Tony Fonseca has been a Community Service Supervisor since
1993, and during the course of his work at B-3 he has focused the
resources of his staff and his office on meeting the special needs of
Mattapan youth. Sgt. Fonseca handles regular CSO duties and he also
volunteers countless hours and energy to the cause of improving the
quality of life for local children. Some of the programs he that he runs
on a volunteer basis include; Junior Achievement for elementary school
kids, a Story Hour for elementary school children, mentoring programs,
and aid to the deaf community. Sgt. Fonseca was recently honored at
the 21st Annual Action for Boston Community Development Dinner for
community service above and beyond the call of duty.
Police Officers Bobby Duggan and David Johnson are
commended this year for their courageous actions in apprehending an
armed felon following the 1995 Caribbean Festival. Their quick and
immediate response along with that of B-2 Officer Reid allowed them to
apprehend the armed and dangerous perpetrator of a vicious violent
crime and effect the removal of two firearms from the streets.
A Comforting Presence
Elaine SatcheU makes the B-3 community a family and sets a tone
of warmth and human kindness in the face of relentless pressure and
constant challenges. As a front desk clerk, she faces a constant flow of
walk-in traffic for police business but somehow she manages to always
keep a kind word and a smile handy, and she finds time to do all of the
things needed to keep that family environment; including organizing
special events, parties, and all of the attendant duties.
An Outstanding Community Partner
Ed O'Brien is a dedicated and active member of the B-3 community.
He has been an invaluable panner in public safety through his work on
the Applegrove Neighborhood Assocation and the B-3 Neighborhood
Council, among many other community groups and affiliations. He was
also a key member of the B-3 Strategic Planning team, and continues to
always be there when we need him. We commend him for his dedication
to making B-3 a better place in which to live, for all of us.

South End, Back Bay, Fenway
D-4 is one of the most diverse police districts in the city, ranging from
the shops of Newbury Street to the lively streets of the South End. People
from every background come together around common concerns about
public safety, through the leadership of Commander Charles Cellucci.
The district's strategic goals reflect the commitment to working in
partnership to eliminate disorder and crime and improve the quality of
life for all.
GOALS FOR 1996
• Create safer, more livable neighborhoods and improve the quality
of life by reducing fear and crime.
• Create a comprehensive plan to provide positive alternatives to
drugs and violence for the youth in our neighborhoods.
• Deliver more efficient and effective police services to the citizens of
D-4 with an emphasis on quality of life issues.
ACHIEVEMENTS IN 1995
District D-4 personnel were already delivering on their promises in
1995. They expanded the number of regular beats and have had beat
officers involved in community meetings in the neighborhoods they
patrol. They achieved double-digit increases in the number of non-
emergency reports taken over the telephone, helping to keep the same
officers working the same neighborhoods.
Captain Cellucci said, "As police officers, we get called in when
things are at their worst. In the past, we were asked too many times to
come in as strangers and settle community conflicts. Having the same
officer dealing with the same neighborhood on a daily basis will help
build trust, confidence and familiarity among the police department and
the neighborhood. Officers will get to know the citizens of the
neighborhood, thus helping them recognize strange faces and the hot
spot areas for crime."
Officers Making A Difference
One officer who has come to the defense of the neighborhood's most
crime-impacted sections is William Reynolds, a 10-year veteran, who has
served for the past seven years in the Anti-Crime Unit at D-4. The 300
arrests per year that Officer Reynolds has made have been high-quality,
apprehending offenders responsible for the problems prioritized by the
community. He logs even more community meetings than arrests. He
symbolizes the districts commitment and that of the Department to work
in problem-solving pannerships with community stakeholders.

District 4 has formed
partnerships with housing
developments within the
district, as well as the MA
Housing Authority (MFHA),
and the Housing and Urban
Development Office (HUD).
This partnership has
decreased the level of crime
occuring in the housing
developments targeted.
The mission of prevention and deterrence permeates all the work in
the district, but in no place more than the area of youth services. Youth
Service Officer John Ridge, a highly-commended anti-crime officer, is
one of the YSO's making a difference with youngsters in the South End.
Officer Ridge has developed many new partnership programs, including
the summer and winter basketball leagues and the flag football league
at Ramsey Park. These programs are made up of youth throughout D-4
and include members of each of the five housing developments that are
located in D-4. Officer Ridge has also set up strong pannerships with the
YMCA, Cooper Community Center, and the Salvation Army.
Civilian Partner
The work of all the officers in the district is supponed by dedicated
civilian staff like David Isberg, who, under the federal Comprehensive
Communities Program helps implement the Neighborhood Policing
Program in the City of Boston. Mr. Isberg has worked very closely with
the Strategic Planning Team, in helping devise a plan that best suits the
needs of the District 4 community.
The Community in Action
The Ringgold Park Crime Watch, exemplifies the kind of
community involvement that suppons Neighborhood Policing. The
Crime Watch came together in August 1994 in response to a gang-related
shooting of a 15-year-old in the small playground between Hanson and
Waltham streets in the Eight Streets Neighborhood Association. The
volunteers worked with police and cit)' officials to clean up the park and
clear it of drug dealers. The city removed graffiti and trimmed trees for
better visibility; a police cruiser stood watch at least once a night. The city
closed the park at 10 p.m., 90 minutes earlier than other parks and
allowed the crime watch to lock its gates. "It's become part of the
neighborhood again," says Mark Hohhouse, Eight Streets president.
"People came together over the issue."

In an effort to reduce vehicle
break-ins in the area, the Car
Safe Vehicle Warning Program
was developed. If an officer
sees that a resident has left
valuable property in his or her
car, has left the vehicle
unlocked and unattended a
"ticket" is left on the windshield
indicating to the citizen that he
or she is inviting a thief to break
into the vehicle. The ticket
contains the number for the
District's Community Service
Office for further information
regarding personal security.
The officers of H-5 protect the public safety in the neighborhoods of
Jamaica Plain, Roslindale and West Roxbury. They did a great job of it in
199S, in partnership with the community, and they have ambitious plans
to do even more in 1996.
GOALS FOR 1996
• hiiprove the overall quality of life in the community, reduce fear of
crime, and have citizens play a pro-active role.
• Enhance understanding and communication among area residents,
the courts, and the police.
• Increase public safety and reduce crime through community
awareness.
ACHIEVEMENTS OF 1995
• Increasing the network of crime watches by encouraging
community residents to form neighborhood crime watch programs and
assisting in their organization.
• Implemented a program encouraging people to register their
bicycles with the police department in an attempt to decrease theft.
• The Car Safe Vehicle Warning Program. The program was
developed in an attempt to reduce car breaks in the area. If an off^icer
sees that a resident has left valuable property in his car, a ticket is left on
the windshield indicating the the potential risk of theft. It is presently
being implemented city wide.
• Bike patrol. Two Police Officers have been assigned bicycles to
patrol the Jamaica Plain business area with the goal of reducing crime in
the area.
• Home Survey program. The survey analyzes and suggests what a
home owner can do to reduce the chances of being victimized in a
breaking and entering.
• Robberies in Area E-5 have been reduced by identifying the affected
areas and increasing police presence in these areas through foot patrols.
The area drug unit has played a crucial role in these effons by focusing
on and arresting area drug dealers and buyers. Many weapons have
been seized by the officers during these arrests and investigations.
Officers Making A Differnece
Officer Mike O'Connor was the first officer to volunteer for Area
E's bicycle patrol. Over the last year he has developed a devoted
following who attribute the reduction of robberies in the Jamaica Plain
Center area to his presence. The car safe program, developed by
Lieutenant Detective Lydstone and Officer Richard Laham, was
implemented by Officer O'Connor with rave reviews from the
community.
Officer Richard Laham has been certified by the Criminal Justice
Training Counsel as a Crime Prevention Officer and uses repeat call
analysis to identify and resolve many problems proactively. He has
developed a very successful program that conducts home and business
surveys for area residents, in an attempt to reduce housebreaks in the
area. Officer Laham attends meetings with area businessmen, speaks at
local interest groups, and teaches child safety.
A Civilian Partner
Marguerite Cullen has met with area leaders and residents over the
last several years and has developed an extensive working knowledge of
problems that are of most concern to the citizens. Mrs. Cullen

Roxbury, Roslindale, and Jamaica Plain and sets up meetings that are
attended by the CSO officers during the week. She also has attended
community meetings and promotes the proactive community policing
philosophy. Mrs. Cullen is well respected by community leaders. She
recently received acknowledgment from the residents of Jamaica Plain,
Commissioner Paul Evans, Representative John McDonough and Mayor
Thomas Menino for her service over the last year to the community. Mrs.
Cullen has been the only civilian so honored with this award.
Community In Action
Area residents from the South Street Jamaica Plain community,
lead by Barbara Gibson, have taken a pro-active approach in dealing
with illegal drugs and graffiti issues in their community. They formed
The South Street Survivors to give area girls an opportunity to better
themselves. With the assistance of representatives from city hall, the
community group removed graffiti on several different occasions to
develop a graffiti free zone. When graffiti was put back, they removed it
again. Working closely with Sergeant James Lynch, residents successfully
helped to arrest and convict several area youths for defacing properties
in the community with graffiti.

In order to effectively deal with problems
related to public underage drinking.
District 6 along with the assistance of
vanous community groups and the
District Court formed the Public Drinking
Diversion Program. Before the
development of the program the
response was to arrest a juvenile for
public dnnking. The youth would be
processed through the court system and
shortly thereafter be back doing the same
thing. The Diversion program requires
the youth and parent or guardian to
attend an alcohol awareness program.
The program is spread over several
separate meetings.
A
Neighborhood House. Focus on scheduling and
prioritizing youth activities to keep youth off the
streets and make South Boston a safer
Community.
Captain Crowley is also proud of the work
his officers have done in addressing one of the
community's most strongly-expressed priorities:
youthful public drinking. The district's new
Public Drinking Diversion Program was a result
of community input from all phases of the
Strategic Planning project. The police developed
the program and met with District Court and
Probation Department personnel who agreed to
implement it.
Of the thirty-six youths who were involved in
this program in 1995 there were no repeat
offenders. The neighborhood experienced one
its quietest summers in several years.
Officers Making A Difference
The work of Officer James Happnie, a 27-year veteran, illustrates
the effectiveness of the principle of "same cop, same neighborhood" that
the Department is working towards for the total patrol force. Jim has
been the beat officer in the McCormack (Old Harbor Development) for
the past several years. His experience, effectiveness, and dedication to
partnership with the community is shown by the high esteem the
residents of the Development have for him. Fairness and integrity
displayed in every day performance makes officer James Happnie a role
model for all working police officers.

performs all the duties of this assignment in an extraordinary manner.
Karen's intelligence and personality shine through in her dealing with
the public — in often adversarial situations- and has benefited the
Department and residents of South Boston in immeasurable terms.
Community in Action
As trust developed and the residents began providing information to
the police, police were able to take appropriate action in dealing with a
large gang that was using the neighborhood for illegal activities. As a
result of court complaints and monitoring, this gang was broken up and
left the area. And on September 26, 1995, the McCormack Civic
Association, in a show of appreciation for the officers of District Six,
presented a Certificate of Appreciation to the officers of C-6.

District A-7 was a leader in 1995 in building partnerships for crime
prevention. The strategic goals they are now working toward in reflect
the commitment to partnerships and prevention:
GOALS FOR 1996
• To aggressively fight crime to make East Boston safer.
• To work to strengthen the partnerships between District 7 and the
stakeholders of East Boston.
• To improve the quality of life in East Boston.
ACHIEVEMENTS IN 1995
The collaboration flows from community pride that is illustrated
when the people refer to A-7 as the "East Boston Police Department."
The partnerships already have begun to pay dividends for the district's
33,000 residents.
For example, street prostitution was cited by residents as a major
problem. Over the course of the past year a vigorous collaboration
among District A-7 officers, local crime watch members and the Suffolk
County District Attorney resulted in a major reduction in the problem as
measured by a nearly 50 percent decrease in street-level prostitution in
the neighborhood.
The commander. Captain Bob Cunningham, said, "The 'same
officer, same neighborhood' concept is one of the cornerstones of
community policing. It exacts a measure of responsibility from both the
beat officer and the neighborhood residents. The result is a working
partnership based on mutual respect and trust."
Officers Making A Difference
officer Joseph Favale is the walking beat officer assigned to the
Maverick Square Public Housing Development. Where residents once
lived and walked in fear, they now take comfort in the fact that Officer
Favale is in the neighborhood. He has worked with the residents and
management to improve the quality of life in the development.
The same values prevail in Orient Heights, where Officer Kevin
Finn drives the beat. Whether responding to a radio call or helping
neighbors with a community problem, Kevin is respected as a working
cop who embraces ownership and accountability.

Underage drinking and the disruption it causes is a major concern in
this district. To this end, the District worked cooperatively with the
owners of liquor stores and liquor distributors. A grant enabled this
district to provide undercover police details to seven major liquor stores
during September and the advertising materials enabled the district to
creatively and effectively communicate our message that alcohol would
not be sold to people under the age of 21. Both colleges and liquor
stores were pleased with the program; one liquor merchant remarked
that he experienced at least a 300% decrease in minors attempting to
purchase alcohol.
In a continuation of this effort to educate residents, particularly
students, about the underage drinking law. District I4's community
service office and Boston College and Boston University's community
relations representatives negotiated with local liquor merchants to
control delivery of beer kegs in Allston and Brighton. As a result of this
effort, liquor retailers have agreed not to deliver kegs of beer to
designated addresses on the District which have been sites for loud and
disruptive activity by primarily underage drinkers.
Officers Making A Difference
Sergeant Detective Kevin Mullen supervises the work of
detectives assigned to the first half tour of duty and, in this capacity,
oversees investigations into a wide variety of crimes. Sgt. Mullen does his
job well, and has displayed both a sensitivity to the concerns of the
residents of Allston and Brighton, and an ability to coordinate his efforts
with those of the patrol force. Sgt. Mullen has particularly shown these
qualities in his response to the problem of B&E's, underage drinking
and graffiti.
Sgt. Mullen's efforts are greatly appreciated by a community which
recently cited " public drunkenness" and "noise" as the second and third
most common problems in their neighborhoods.
Officer Albert Terestre. This district used grant funds to provide
a day time walking officer in the Union Square neighborhood of Allston.
Officer Terestre volunteered for this assignment and quickly became an
invaluable asset to the neighborhood. Officer Terestres daily routine
include visits to the Jackson Mann School and the Jackson Mann
Community Center, the West End Boys and Girls Club, the Allston
Nursing Home, and the merchants in the Union Square business area.
Officers Robert Zingg and Daniel Duff patrol D-14 as a rapid
response unit on the morning watch tour of duty. Officers Zingg and
Duff are highly motivated officers with good street instincts whose arrests
are often the result of motor vehicle stops or street observations. Officers
Zingg and Duff have recently been commended for their arrest of two
armed carjacking suspects and their arrest of two men wanted for
assault by means of a gun.

In District 18's Hyde Park and Readville neighborhoods,
Neighborhood PoUcing is practiced on a retail basis, with much one-to-
one contact between police commanders and officers and citizens, hi
1995 this yielded continuing decreases in crime and a new plan for
1996.
GOALS FOR 1996
• Reduce crime and fear of crime.
• Expect Respectful behavior in youth.

shirts, bats, balls, gloves, helmets, and catchers equipment. All 144
players, their coaches and families were treated to a cook-out supplied
by the Boston Police Athletic League.
As a result of the Strategic Planning Initiative, E-18 will establish a
Neighborhood Enhancement Council, which will be comprised of
representatives from each Crime Watch group in the District. With the
encouragement of the E-18 Community Service Office, seven new
Neighborhood Watch Groups have been formed during 1995. Crime
Watch Groups are also being planned for businesses areas. The Council
will meet on a bi-monthly basis with officers from District E-18 to discuss
District wide concerns, exchange information, and formulate solutions
to problems. Ideally, this Council will function in a manner similar to
the Strategic Planning Council.
In response to the serious concerns of the residents and business
people relative to graffiti, the District E-18 Community Service Office
acquired three graffiti removal machines. On November 17, 1995,
Community Service Officer Coreen Thomas partnered with the Main
Streets program and organized a clean-up day, targeting graffiti. Civilian

The Office of the Police (Commissioner (OPC) consists of
officers and civilian personnel who have responsibility for
providing support to the Police Commissioner in strategic, legal,
policy, resource development, media, and research issues.
During 1995, the OPC managed a series of initiatives to
support the goals of Neighborhood Policing across the City.
Strategic planning and resource development strategies were
employed to achieve the goals of increased partnership, problem-
solving and prevention throughout all areas of the Department's
work. Some important accomplishments included:
Tlie Strategic Planning and Community Mobilization Project
was conducted. This process involved bringing over 400 internal
and external stakeholders together to chart the future of
Neighborhood Policing in each of the City's police districts, and
within the Department in five functional areas. The project lasted
eight months, and resulted in a sixteen volume Strategic Plan for
Neighborhood Policing, written by a broad mix of residents, police
officers, business leaders, religious and civic leaders and
community service organations.
Over $10 million in grant funds were acquired to support the
implementation of the goals in the Strategic Plan for
Neighborhood Policing. These funds enabled each District to take
on new challenges such as the Safe Neighborhood Initiatives, and
the Comprehensive Communities Program, as well as new anti-
violence and illegal firearms tracking programs. These resources
were also used to support "same cop, same neighborhood,"
strategies for keeping beat officers in the same areas a minimum
of 60% of the time.
In 1995, the OPC's Office of Research and Analysis completed
the 1995 Public Safety Survey, a comprehensive approach to
gathering data on city residents' perception and fear of crime, and
to engage their direct participation in guiding Department
initiatives. The survey assessed the levels of public support for
various Neighborhood Policing initiatives as well as residents
perceptions of police and crime in their Districts.
Joseph C. Carter
Superintendent
Development of new public private partnerships for youth
violence prevention was a key priority in 1995. Through the
generous support of the YMCA of Greater Boston, the BPD offered
over 400 at-risk youth the opportunity to participate in productive
summer programming. The John Hancock Corporation
continued to support youth through the Summer of Opportunity
employment training program for urban teens. These programs,
among others, continue to make Boston safer and provide
positive opportunities for all youth.
The OPC's Office of Informational Services works closely with
the media to ensure that the public gets clear updates on new
initiatives and important public safety issues. Through televised
programming, such as Call the Cops, the residents of the city can
interact directly with officers on a weekly basis.
Each of these initiatives represents a comprehensive
commitment to Neighborhood Policing. In 1996, The OPC will
continue to seek the participation of all internal and external
partners in sustaining and strengthening Neighborhood Policing.
In 1995, the City hired 168 new police officers Neighborhood
Policing. Promotions were also made, with four to Lieutentant
and ten to Sergeant Detective.

GOALS FOR 1996:
• To implement alternative ways to respond to 9-1-1 calls for service
besides sending a police car;
• To utilize the CAD's "triage capability" to instruct the 9-1-1 Call
Taker to ask IF and OR questions that help to determine the
appropriate response to the call;
• To improve feed back to the citizen requesting service and to the
Officer responding to the call concerning information on context,
response time or status of the call;
• To use Operations personnel to survey caller satisfaction with the
police response to 9-1-1 calls;
• To identify the source of turnover of 9-1-1 personnel and to devise a

ACHIEVEMENTS IN 1995:
• During 1995, the Operations Division increased its ability to take
phone reports through the Neighborhood Interaction Unit (NIU), freeing
up hundreds of officer hours per week in support of the Neighborhood
Policing initiative. Additionally, the Operations Division trained and
certified all 9-1-1 Call Takers in APCO (Association of Public-Safety
Communications Officers) resulting in a higher quality of service to the
community.
• Over the course of 1995, the Operations Divisions Training
Coordinator has responded to several District stations to provide
additional CAD training to district personnel who requested it. Also,
Operations continues to act as a resource for other units who frequently
call the Division to ask questions about CAD (Computer Aided
Dispatch), MDT (Mobile Data Terminals), LEAPS (Law Enforcement
Agencies Processing System) or NCIC (National Crime Information
Center).
• A questionnaire designed to identify the source of turnover of 9-1-1
personnel has been distributed to all Operations Division personnel
and the results were tabulated by the Office of Research and Analysis.
• A questionnaire designed to survey caller satisfaction with police
response to 9-1-1 calls has been designed and will be distributed to
callers in 1996.
Officers Making A Difference
officer Joseph Brady, the Area A dispatcher, sent a service unit to
East Boston, to assist an ambulance relative to a man (later identified as

Officer Brady learned that the victim required immediate transport to the
hospital through the Sumner Tunnel during morning rush hour traffic.
Officer Brady quickly coordinated all police response units on Area A,
strategically assigning them to traffic posts on both sides of the tunnel.
The dispatcher's efforts helped ease the ambulance through the heavy
traffic to the Massachusetts General Hospital in a matter of minutes.
Because of Officer Brady's calm professionalism in the presence of
crisis along with his quick thinking and demonstrable knowledge,
Lieutenant Garcia recovered.
Officer Richard Ingersoll, the Area D dispatcher, sent units to an
explosion and fire in the transformer room of the Copley Place Mall.
Officer Ingersoll strategically assigned police units to traffic posts
around the area while coordinating the arrival of the Boston Fire
Department, the Hazardous Materials Officer and the Boston Gas
Company. When the Boston Fire Department lost its radio
communications, Officer Ingersoll handled their radio messages until
the BFD Mobile Communications Unit arrived, arranging for the
evacuation of approximately two thousand people.
Officer Curtis Carroll, as the Area C dispatcher, sent units to
Dorchester relative to a domestic disturbance. During the incident, the
husband armed himself with a high powered rifle and threatened his
family. When the first units from District 1 1 arrived on scene, the
suspect fired a round in their direction through the living room window.
When additional units arrived. Officer Carroll, who was instrumental in
coordinating the entire effort, assigned them to secure a perimeter,
blocking off adjacent streets and reinforcing the units already on scene.
The incident concluded without injury and with the arrest of the suspect.
A Civilian Partner
Communications Equipment Operator Roberta Goodman,
assigned to the Operations Division as a 9-1-1 Call Taker, received a call
from a woman who stated that she had just been attacked and almost
raped by a male suspect. After obtaining a detailed description of the
suspect, CEO Goodman quickly entered two calls into the CAD system:
one for an Assault and Battery report at the victim's home address and
one for Investigate Person giving a detailed description of the suspect.
Within minutes, an Officer on foot patrol in the area observed a possible
suspect. The victim was transported to the scene where she made a
positive identification. The suspect was arrested.

One question that usually arises in relation to the arrests made
in these "Cold Cases" is: "How viable are these cases in court
after so many years ? The "Cold Case Squad" has a conviction in each
case that has gone to trial.
In addition, in 1994, Superintendent John Boyle, the Chief of
the Bureau of Investigative Services, instructed the "Cold Case
Squad" to concentrate their efforts on 27 long-term "Wanted" Rape

Benefits of having a designated beat officer patrol
the same neighborhood:
Training is focused on one officer and one beat problem solving
strategy. Recruit Officers are fully briefed and trained in Neighborhood
Policing throughout their training schedule. Neighborhood groups are
brought in for sessions with the recruits and the recruits attend 2
community meetings during their training to become familiar with
Neighborhood issues.
Accomplishments of individual police officers:
POLICE OFFICER Gladys Gaines — winner of Roosevelt Award
POLICE OFFICER Paul Downey — Offered recruit training,
changes in Chapter 90 mandated Training Bulletins, and In-Service
training.
POLICE OFFICER Nadine Taylor Miller — Coordinated, developed and
originated citywide Citizens Police Academy. Extended partnerships
concept to districts and residents of each neighborhood in the City.
Accomplishments of a civilian employee:
Jane Sheehan — Developed, coordinated and conducted 6 family
nights for recruit officers and their families. Two of these were specific
informational evenings for significant others. Valuable information
concerning job issues and stress management was
shared with loved ones. mmmmamm^ p^
Accomplishments of a citizen or
citizen's group in partnership with the
district:
• Hyde Park Youth Day
• Dorchester Day Parade
Recruit classes participated in the Hyde Park Youth
Day and Dorchester Day Parades. The classes marched
in formation highlighting the teamwork of each Academy
class.
Field Services is the major division in the Boston
Police Department. Almost all uniformed personnel
and all district-based detectives work within this bureau.
They provide leadership and support for the vast array
of work that is involved in ensuring public safety, in a
strategy of prevention, partnership and problem-solving.
This section highlights the bureau's achievements in
1995 and its plans for 1996, as represented by the work
of the Operations Division, the Special Operations
Division, and the Youth Service Program.
