As Captain of District 14, I’d like to welcome the Brighton and Allston communities to our web page. The officers of District 14 are committed to preventing crime, addressing issues affecting the quality of life, and ensuring public safety seven days a week and twenty four hours a day. These goals cannot be achieved without the many partnerships that have been formed with the greater community. The many partners of the Boston Police in Allston Brighton include the business community, landlords and property managers, major universities, St. Elizabeth Medical Center, as well as the long list of active citizens groups that have assisted us in our efforts. We are all a part of a commitment to keep Allston and Brighton a safe and vibrant community for all segments of what is probably the most diverse part of Boston.
Some of the important issues that District 14 will continue to tackle and work to improve along with our partners include maintaining public order, especially addressing complaints of noise disturbances and disorderly conduct in traditional established neighborhoods; educating the young students on issues involving personal safety and responsible off-campus behavior; communicating with bar and nightclub management about the safe operation of their businesses; continuing the partnership with property managers of large multi-unit apartments regarding safety enhancements; and working with Councilor Ciommo on reporting and eradicating graffiti.
Additionally, we at District 14 recognize the importance of reaching the young children of the community. Our Youth Service Officer, Amy McKenna, is involved or oversees the implementation of several programs aimed at young people such as Allston Brighton P.A.L. soccer league every Saturday throughout the Fall, the After School Program at Fidelis Housing Development, the Allston Brighton Youth Task Force at the YMCA in Oak Square, and the GREAT Program, Gang Resistance Education and Training, in the elementary schools. Officer McKenna is also involved with the District 14 RAD training, Rape Aggression Defense, and monitoring the behavioral issues at Brighton High School with our School Police Unit.
In closing, regardless of how hard we at District 14 try, we cannot accomplish our mission without the help and continued dedication of the residents and organizations in the Brighton and Allston communities. Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Captain James Hussey
