Description
Docket #0722 - Hearing regarding concurrent jurisdiction of Massachusetts Port Authority properties in Boston
A
Five
city
councilor
I'm,
joined
today
by
my
colleague
district
councillor,
Edie
Flynn,
and
my
other
colleague
city
councilor,
at-large
Michael
Flaherty
I,
want
to
remind
everybody
that
this
is
a
public
hearing
being
recorded
in
broadcast
and
Comcast
eight
ICN
82
and
Verizon
1964.
It's
also
being
streamed
on
line
Boston
gov.
Please
silence
your
cell
phones
and
other
devices.
We
will
take
public
testimony
if
you
want
to
sign
in
on
the
on
my
left.
A
A
You
very
much
everybody
for
coming
here.
I
am
disappointed
that
some
of
our
invites
were
not
taken
seriously.
This
is
an
incredibly
serious
issue
when
you
look
at
the
Seaport
you're,
looking
at
a
brand
new
neighborhood
you're,
looking
at
an
extensive
neighborhood
with
city
of
Boston
residents,
you're
looking
at
city
of
Boston
residents
that
deserve
all
of
the
benefits
of
having,
arguably
or
in
my
opinion,
not
arguably,
the
greatest
community
service
police
force
in
the
nation.
The
tax
revenue
in
in
the
Seaport
alone
in
2000
2005
FY
5,
was
16
million
in
tax
revenue.
A
Now
in
FY,
16
was
108
million
dollars,
which
is
an
increase
of
five
hundred
and
twenty
six
percent.
That
neighborhood
has
become
an
integral
part
of
this
city
and
we
are
all
very,
very
concerned,
as
we
put
this
docket
in
councillor
Flynn
and
I.
This
docket
is
docket
number
zero,
seven
to
two.
It's
an
order
of
a
hearing
regarding
concurrent
jurisdiction
of
Massachusetts
Port,
Authority
control
properties
located
within
the
city
of
Boston.
A
I
find
it
disrespectful
that
the
the
people
who
were
called
upon
did
not
contact
us
in
any
way
shape
or
form
personally,
but
they
called
our
staff
and
said
they
couldn't
make
it
will
send
staffers.
This
is
a
big
issue,
so
I
want
to
open
the
floor
quickly
to
my
colleagues
and
then
we'll
have
Commissioner
Evans
make
his
opening
statement,
counsel,
Flynn.
D
D
This
hearing
is
on
enforcement
jurisdiction
between
the
Boston
Police
in
State
Police,
on
massport
properties
in
the
waterfront
area.
This
proposal
would
not
take
away
the
authority
of
the
State
Police.
It
seeks
to
provide
the
Boston
Police
the
same
police
jurisdiction
as
the
State
Police
in
the
city
of
Boston.
The
South
Boston
waterfront
has
drastically
changed
in
the
decades
since
the
concurrent
arrangement,
since
the
current
arrangement
on
the
waterfront
was
a
moved
in
the
1990s.
There
are
more
businesses
in
residents
than
ever
before
in
the
area,
as
I
have
said
before.
A
G
Council
in
council
clarity,
Thank
You,
mr.
chairman,
it's
absurd
that
we're
having
this
discussion
in
2018
public
safety
is
of
paramount
importance
to
the
residents
of
South
Boston,
the
visitors
and
tourists
of
the
South
Boston
waterfront,
as
well
as
the
taxpayers
and
businesses
down
there.
So
we
need
to
resolve
this
issue
immediately,
whether
that's
through
an
MoU
which
is
probably
path
of
least
resistance,
IND
or
otherwise,
through
state
legislation.
G
People
don't
realize
that
all
those
businesses
down
there
a
licensed
through
the
city
of
Boston's
for
the
special
services
through
our
city's
Licensing
Board,
and
there
are
issues
that
come
up
from
time
to
time
and
and
we're
probably
best
apt
to
handle
those
things
because
they
license
permits
violation.
So
with
that,
mr.
G
chairman
look
forward
to
hearing
from
from
folks
that
took
time
out
of
their
schedule
to
be
here
and
we'll
support
the
chair
in
efforts
to
either
recess
this
hearing
in,
if
necessary,
used
City
Council
subpoena
powers
to
get
the
appropriate
authorities
here
to
resolve
this
issue
once
and
for
all.
Thank.
A
You
very
much
councilor
before
I,
open
it
up
to
Commissioner
Evans
when
counsel
Flynn
and
I
announced
that
we
were
going
to
do
this.
The
one
thing
that
kept
popping
into
my
head,
the
one
question
that
I
want
to
get
out
of
this
hearing
and
I
wish
I,
could
ask
this
question
to
the
colonel
to
tom
Glenn
to
Dan.
Bennett
is
why
is
this
an
issue
at
all?
Why
is
this
not
a
solution
for
the
city
of
Boston
and
for
the
people
who
live
in
that
in
that
area?
F
F
You
know
and
I've
been
adamant
about
getting
the
right,
Police
Agency
down
there
to
please
a
Boston,
City,
neighborhood
I,
think
everyone
knows
that
the
Boston
Fire
in
Boston
EMS
patrol
that
neighborhood
and
and
people
pay
good
money
to
live
down
there
and
pay
city
taxes
and
clearly
they
should
get
what
I
consider
and
President
Obama
considered
one
of
the
top
community
policing
agencies
in
the
country,
and
so
you
know
it's
frustrating.
You
know
we
patrolled
just
to
make
it
clear
that
was
always
our
jurisdiction.
F
As
a
young
officer,
we
all
patrol
down
there
when
it
was
just
jimmy's
homicide
and
somehow
in
97
an
amendment
was
thrown
in
that
took
it
away
from
us.
So
this
wasn't
always
Massport
at
all.
You
know
something
was
slipped
in
and
we
lost
jurisdiction
20
years
ago.
So
we're
not
looking
to
take
something
that
we
never
had.
We
had
it
before,
but
with
the
transportation
bill
we
lost
it,
so
we're
just
trying
to
regain
something
through
the
legislative
that
was
taken
away
from
us.
F
You
know,
what's
frustrating
to
me,
like
you
said,
is
nobody's
here
to
answer
the
question
that
have
continually
asked
when
I've
testified
in
the
legislature.
Give
me
one
good
reason
why
and
nobody
can
in
what's
always
troubling
to
me
even
up
the
Statehouse.
No
one
even
comes
in
opposes
it
and
when
I
get
up
there
and
yeah,
obviously
that's
troubling.
F
You
know:
I
have
a
letter
from
Tom
Glen
here
written
he
didn't
show
up
to
show
his
face,
but
he
wrote
that
and
I'll
just
state
a
few
things
here
that
he
strongly
opposes
concurrent
jurisdiction
and
he
gives
reasons
about
liability
which
weren't
true,
because
the
city
indemnifies
us
and
he
talks
about
having
45
Massport
cops
exclusively
assigned
to
patrol
the
seaport.
Now
we
could
probably
do
with
five
to
tell
you
the
truth
and
he
talks
about
67
state
troopers
assigned
to
that
barracks.
F
So
that's
110
people
that
he
claims
in
this
letter
written
16
months
ago
that
are
patrolling
the
Seaport.
You
know
we're
talking
about
probably
five
or
six
blocks
down
there
that
easily
we
can
do
with
you
know
we
have
three
bikes
down
there.
Now
we
have
vehicles
riding
down
there,
but
it
seems
like
those
resources
with
365
cities
and
towns
can
be
put
to
a
better
use.
We
have
the
same
men
powers
to
stay
police,
basically
almost
2200
officers
that
they
have.
We
have
ample
resources
without
paying
any
overtime
to
patrol
that
here.
F
What
we
also
have
is
specialized
units
which
deal
with
real
city
issues
if
someone's
sexually
assaulted
and
we've
had
sexual
assaults
down
there.
We
have
a
unit
who
deal
with
victims
all
the
time
and
so
they're
not
revitalized.
When
we
run
into
them
in
the
state
police,
they
call
basically
a
homicide
unit
in
which
is
statewide
to
deal
with
these
sexual
assault
victims.
All
of
our
district
stations
have
domestic
violence
advocates
in
detectives
who
really
deal
with
these
victims.
They
get
them
to
court.
That
doesn't
happen
with
the
state
police.
F
You
know
we
have
child
advocacy
groups
if
there's
a
crime
against
a
child.
You
know
these
are
the
specialties
that
we
bring.
We
have
no
idea
if
sexual
offenders
living
down
there,
we
don't
even
get
their
crime
report.
So
yesterday
we
did
CompStat
and
we
had
Joe
Boyle
up
in
front
of
our
station
going
over
the
crimes
in
South
Boston
and
we
don't
get
what's
going
down
in
South
Boston
because
they
don't
forward
those
resources.
So
it's
very
troubling
to
me
this
whole
set
up
and
I'm
so
I'm
real
disappointed.
F
Although
I
have
the
highest
respect
for
the
governor,
because
he
about
six
weeks
ago
talked
about
a
remedy
here
and
we
still
don't
have
it
obviously
didn't
Bennett's
a
great
guy.
He
brought
us
together,
but
it
made
no
progress
and
this
was
going
to
take
some
courage.
So
I
want
to
change
this
because
it
doesn't
make
any
sense
that
the
Boston
Police
Department
can't
patrol
a
major
part
of
their
city.
F
There's
so
many
residents
down
there,
there's
so
many
businesses
and
about
three
weeks
ago
I
had
a
woman
complaining
about
a
club,
and
she
says
you
know
she
had
no
one
to
turn
to
she's
calling
me
to
fix
the
problems
at
this
club
and
I
told
that
we
don't
have
jurisdiction
down
there,
but
even
more
important.
When
I
call
the
chiyan
woman,
not
by
a
licensing
board.
She
doesn't
have
one
violation
against
that
club,
so
we
have
the
licensed
premises
down
there,
but
nobody's
reporting
the
incidence
to
us
massport
in
the
state
police.
F
F
That's
their
specialty,
they're,
a
paramilitary
organization,
we're
a
community
based
neighbourhood,
policing,
I,
don't
think
anyone
does
it
better
and
I
think
most
of
those
residents
down
there
don't
realize
how
dysfunctional
this
system
is
when
their
crime
down
there
is
not
reported
to
us,
and
so
we
got
massport.
We
got
State
Police
in
Boston
police,
all
fighting
for
calls
and
I've
told
you
the
story
one
day,
I'm
riding
home
with
my
son
from
church,
and
there
was
a
dead
body
on
a
boat.
F
We
were
there
first
and
for
an
hour
half
we
argued
over
whose
jurisdiction
the
boat
was-
and
it's
real
troubling
to
me
when
we
have
those
tight
fights,
because
in
this
day
of
terrorism,
in
this
day
of
cooperation,
we
do
a
great
job
except
down
the
seaport.
You
know
this
is
very
juvenile.
This
behavior,
it's
as
you
can't
have
it.
We
should
be
concerned
about
public
safety,
not
about
it's
our
turf
and
it's
never
about
details.
When
we
sat
down
with
the
State
Police,
we
said
you
can
have
all
the
details.
F
You
can
make
all
the
money
you
want
down
there,
you
take
the
road
like
you
have
all
across
the
city.
Now,
if
you
look
at
Marva,
see
Boulevard,
the
state
has
the
road
we
do
the
sidewalks
in
the
calls
you
look
at
Jamaica
way.
You
look
at
Columbia
Road.
We
work
well
together.
Here
we
don't
have
any
jurisdiction
and
it
also
applies.
F
So
you
know
to
Charlestown
where
mass
sport
has
exclusive
jurisdiction
on
residential
property
there
and
applies
to
Charles
Town
we're
in
this
state
do
state
troopers
enter
for
the
most
part
house,
calls
for
law
parties
or
bar
fights.
Even
my
support
is
police
are
going
to
buy
fights
down
there
now?
What
does
maritime
cops
know
about
bar
fights?
You
know,
that's
our
specialty,
so
you
know
it's
almost
like
it's.
It's
embarrassing.
F
You
know
when
people
like
Tom
Glenn
in
the
people
to
be
don't
want
to
get
up
here
and
tell
you
face-to-face
what
the
true
reason
is
and
they
write
letters
instead,
sort
of
behind
your
back.
No,
it's
real
frustrating
for
me
and
you
know
I,
hope
and
I
wish.
They
were
here
because
there's
no
legitimate
reason
not
to
have
us
down
that
seaport
and
I.
F
Thank
you
for
bringing
it
up,
but
it's
a
disservice
to
the
residents
of
the
Seaport
not
to
have
the
Boston
Police
down
there
and
I
just
again
always
ask
whether
it's
on
the
Statehouse
and
funny.
You
give
me
one
good
reason,
because
I
think
President
Obama
said
it
everybody
saying
no
one
does
better!
Neighborhood
policing
in
the
Boston
place
thank.
A
C
I'll
keep
my
remarks.
Brief.
I
just
want
to
kind
of
introduce
Mike
Radian
is
in
the
role
but
good
morning,
Jim
McCarthy.
So
as
Flaherty
and
Flynn
Commissioner
evidence,
members
of
the
Boston
Police
Department,
my
name's
Tommy
Butler
and
I-
am
the
assistant
director
of
government
and
community
affairs
at
the
Massachusetts
Board
Authority.
We
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
comment
before
the
committee
with
me.
C
Today
is
my
grady
chief
of
the
Massport
police
department
and
maritime
security
chief
Grady
was
the
longtime
deputy
under
Joel
lawless
and
was
recently
promoted
with
confidence
when
Joe
retired
I
know
Joe's,
been
on
this
panel
of
number
of
times
and
like
to
give
Micah
the
opportunity
to
give
some
comments.
Thank.
B
You
Tommy
good
morning,
Jim
McCarthy,
members
of
the
council
is
Tommy
Sarah
Mike
Grady,
with
the
Port
Authority
director
of
maritime
security.
The
massport
Police
I
want
to
make
clear
at
the
outset
my
respect
for
the
Commissioner
and
the
men
and
the
women
of
the
Boston
Police
Department
of
the
job
they
do
day
in
and
day
out,
the
area's
the
Seaport
District
under
the
control,
the
authority
effectively
and
professionally
policed
by
the
men
and
women
at
the
mast,
a
police
and
the
Massport
police.
B
Instances
of
crime
of
being
and
had
been
historically
responded
to
an
Italian,
thorough
manner
and
the
current
policing
protocols
in
the
Seaport
District.
Currently,
there's
no
question
about
who
was
in
charge
its
Massport
sesang
native,
the
law
enforcement
agency,
the
math
state
police.
There
are
clear
lines
of
jurisdictional
authority
and
responsibility
which
effectively
established
command
and
control
on
a
sports
properties.
State
police
have
multiple
resources
available
and
ready
to
be
deployed
at
a
moment's
notice.
B
These
include
detectives,
uod,
k-9
teams,
stop
team
gang
unit,
tactical
response
vehicles,
personnel
patrolling
the
district
on
foot
bike,
motorcycle
mounted
unit
and
vehicle
and
are
directly
assigned
and
dedicated
24/7
365
days
a
year,
State
Police
amass
port
police
work
together
to
protect
the
public,
prevent
crime
and
train
together.
If
a
major
instance
in
response,
the
number
one
priority
of
the
authority
is
safety
and
security.
For
years,
we've
had
affected
communication
cooperation,
collaboration
and
sharing
of
information
and
intelligence
with
the
Boston
Police
Department.
B
Most
recently,
the
seaport
security
initiative
was
held
at
the
World
Trade
Center.
This
training
was
held
to
engage
the
community
in
response
to
active,
shooter
and
hostile
events.
The
BPD
were
engaged
and
present
along
with
all
law
enforcement
partners
in
the
area.
In
the
past,
we've
held
multiple
active
shooter
training
sessions
for
hotel
employees
to
train
them
on
active
shooter,
an
active
shooter
response.
B
We've
worked
together
effectively
on
many
large
events
to
include
multiple
sail:
Boston's
Navy
visits,
LNG
movements,
concerts,
Road
races
and
festivals,
officers
from
the
State
Police
Boston
Police
and
mass
boat
police
collaborate
together
on
North
Shore
gang
task
force.
The
mass
port
Police
complement
the
State
Police
and
act
as
a
force,
multiplier,
visible
crime
deterrence
providing
additional
first
response
capabilities.
We
also
provide
specialized
security
services
under
the
maritime
transportation
security
act
at
the
cruise
terminal,
Container
Terminal
and
East
bosses
Park
systems.
B
A
You
okay,
I,
just
had
to
read
into
the
record:
I
got
a
letter
from
moxie.
Oh
he's
got
a
bad
back,
so
he
apologizes
for
being
unable
to
attend
today's
hearing
a
docket
number
zero.
Seven.
Two
two
he's
writing
to
offer
support
from
concurrent
jurisdiction
in
the
Seaport
neighborhood
of
South
Boston.
He
believes
that
the
residence
the
city
Boston
people
are
residing
in
the
Seaport
deserve
all
the
city
services
that
the
rest
of
the
city
has
access
to,
including
the
service
of
the
Boston
Police
Department.
A
That's
mark
co-moh,
so
cut
a
couple
questions
that
I
have
right
out
of
the
gate
and
then
we'll
we'll
you
know
hand
it
off
to
my
colleagues
as
well,
who
represent
the
area
directly
as
Eddie
does
I
started
out
the
hearing
by
saying
you
know
what
is
the
true
issue
with
with
concurrent
jurisdiction?
What
is
the
actual
issue
so
as
as
Commissioner
Evans
was
talking
about,
he
went
on
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
exactly
what's
going
on
in
there.
F
What
happens
with
a
primary
agency
that
receives
the
call-
and
you
know
if
it's
an
emergency
for
the
most
part
like
a
gun
call,
you
know
we'll
we'll
respond
to
a
gun,
call
whether
we
have
jurisdiction
or
not,
but
we'll
notify
mask
Massport,
as
well
as
the
State
Police
and
we'll
send
it
back
out
to
Framingham,
which
again
can
end
up
in
a
little
bit
of
a
delay
being
said.
But
you
know
on
serious
calls.
F
We
don't
really
care
about
the
jurisdiction
and
safety
is
the
factor,
but
then
what
happens
at
that
point
is
we
have
to
turn
it
over
to
the
State
Police,
but
in
a
domestic
call.
Obviously
we
have
to
refer
that
over
to
the
State
Police,
and
at
that
point
you
know
they
deal
with
it
and
I,
don't
believe
they
have
domestic
violence
officers
who
were
signed
in
advocates
like
we
do
that.
Take
that
person
to
South
Boston
court
the
next
day
they
walk
them
through,
they
make
sure
their
children
are
safe.
Whatnot.
F
We
have
specialized
units
which
deal
with
all
those,
and
we
that's
why
we
get
a
lot
of
accolades
because
we
do
a
lot
of
follow
up
and
so
it
we
don't
go
to
calls
down
there.
We
transfer
Alamosa,
but
the
other
day.
I
was
hearing
a
call
and
it
was
a
person
supposedly
with
a
gun
at
Dell
Frisco's
and
on
the
air.
F
We
could
hear
the
so
that
the
communication
about
that's
on
the
State
Police
well
assists
it
and
what
we're
gonna
go
anyway
and
then
what
you
end
up
having
you
have
three
agencies
responding
and
then
it's
who's
gonna,
take
the
arrest
and
we've
had
a
lot
of
disturbances.
I
mean
a
lot
of
fights
down
there
or
who's
going
to
take
what.
F
But
the
sad
thing
is
if
there's
a
sexual
assault
which
I'm
fortunate
we've
had
both
on
the
boats
and
in
some
of
these
clubs
and
will
be
sometimes
the
first
ones
to
run
into
it,
and
so
the
girl,
poor
girl,
has
to
tell
us
our
story,
but
then
she's
remised
again,
because
at
that
point
we
have
to
turn
it
over
to
the
State
Police.
So
again,
don't
have
a
sexual
assault
unit.
F
They
have
detectives
who
then
deal
with
it,
and
so
we're
very
familiar
with
the
local
courts
were
very
familiar
with
the
resources
that
all
these
young,
ladies,
can
get
down
there.
But
it's
you
know
we
specialized
in
these
neighborhood
issues
and
again
I'll
respect
to
the
State
Police.
They
specialize
more
dealing
with
like
the
terrorism
stuff,
the
highways
in
the
packs
we're
at
the
community,
policing,
neighborhood
police
know
where
in
the
state
does
any
police
agency
have
exclusive
jurisdiction
to
a
neighborhood
fine.
They
can
have
it
to
the
airport.
F
We
we
don't
want
it
in
the
airport,
but
we
want
our
city
neighborhoods.
We
want
South
Boston,
we
want
Charlestown,
those
people
just
have
what
everyone
else
gets,
and
it's
so
sad
that
the
legislation
knows-
and
everybody
knows
this
is
the
most
crazy
set
up,
but
nobody
wants
to
fix
it
of
I've
said
numerous
times.
People
got
a
step
up.
This
is
about
public
safety,
not
about
a
turf
war,
not
about
the
State
Police
Union.
It's
about
those
residents
down
here.
It's
embarrassing
that
we're
fighting
over
this.
It's
embarrassing.
F
This
set
up
this
day
and
age.
You
know
we
shouldn't
be
fighting,
we
should
be
working
together,
they
have
the
street
like
they
do
in
every
other
setup,
and
we
have.
The
house
calls
the
bar
that
that's
the
way
it
is
across
the
city.
Why
here
any
different
counselors
and
that's
what
I
continually
ask
and
I
wish
Tom
Glenn
was
here.
I
wish
the
colonel
was
here
because,
like
the
legislation
when
I
go,
I
asked
them,
give
me
one
good
reason
and
all
I
hear
is
cricket's.
They
don't
even
send
anyone
to
oppose
us.
A
You
mentioned
the
Child
Advocacy
Center
and
we're
very
familiar
with
them.
God
forbid.
If
a
child
gets
hurt
down
there,
because
it
is
a
new
neighborhood,
can
you
want
to
dive
in
a
little
bit
about
your
relationship
with
the
Child
Advocacy
Center,
with
TA
Conley
and
in
the
process
of
something
happening
to
a
child
down
there.
F
Well,
you
know
they're
a
great
organization,
they
will
work
with
children
who
have
been
abused,
and
you
know
we
just
did
a
fundraiser
with
them
a
couple
weeks
ago
the
stair
climb
at
the
pool
and
they
look
out
for
the
children's
well
for
you
more
than
anyone-
and
you
know
we
have
officers
assigned
to
them.
The
DEA
has
offices
to
sign,
but
those
are
the
specialties
that
we
bring.
We
have
a
Family
Justice
Center
in
Brighton.
That's
all
all
services
for
everyone,
social
services.
F
We
get
them,
help
get
the
mothers
settled
in
a
good
place,
get
the
children
safe
and
so
that
we
we
bring
the
whole
spectrum
of
policing
to
issues
like
child
abuse,
to
sexual
abuse,
to
human
trafficking,
and
we
have
again
2,200
offices
just
focused
on
the
city.
They
have
2,200
focused
on
365
cities
and
towns.
We
can
bring
the
resources
without
any
charge.
You
know
this
is
such
a
waste
of
duplication.
We
have
three
agencies
down
there,
costing
the
taxpayers
big
big
money
when
the
Boston
Police
can
do
it
for
nothing.
F
A
Last
question:
for
him
there
over
the
council
Flynn
would
go
to
chief
Grady
chief.
You
talked
about
the
meeting
that
you
have
weekly
or
bi-weekly
and
you
went
through.
Who
was
there
quickly?
So
there
seems
to
be
a
little
miscommunication
here,
because
there
was
a
in
the
opening
statements.
There
was.
It
seemed
like
there
was
not
a
knock
communication
with
reports
and
things
like
that,
and
then
it
came
to
you,
and
you
said
there
is
communication,
so
if
you
could
just
kind
of
go
over
that
one
more
time,
so
every.
B
Wednesday
and
it
began
post-911,
it's
held
every
Wednesday
it
massport
and
that,
even
though
the
faces
may
have
changed
over
the
years
that
represent
the
different
agencies
is
the
Seaport
has
begun
to
grow
and
it's
a
sharing
of
information
to
get
together
on
an
informal
basis.
Every
Wednesday
at
10
o'clock
and
you're
welcome
to
attend,
but
it's
to
share.
What's
going
on
in
the
district,
what
may
be
happening?
B
What
event
may
be
impacting
it
maybe
to
talk
about
large
events
that
have
to
be
planned,
for
it
may
be
small
minutiae
of
an
issue
or
a
problem
to
try
to
to
hear
from
whether
it's
the
BCC
or
it's
a
hotel
issue
or
hot
poon
fest
is
going
to
be
held
this
weekend,
a
city
property
that
would
then
impact
the
district.
But
it's
to
get
everyone
together.
You
know
not
every
week,
does
everyone
show,
but
there's
a
robust
attendance
and
it's
federal
law
enforcement
partners,
its
regulatory
partners,
its
its
city,
ems,
BPD?
B
Maybe
a
seven
walk
more
burnt
end
with
captain
McCormick's
group,
so
it's
really
just
getting
together
meeting
each
other
and
sharing
what
may
be
going
on
week
to
week
to
week.
So
we've
done
that
for
18
years.
We
continue
to
do
it,
but
again
I
may
be
one
of
the
only
constants
that
have
been
there
that
long
to
do
it,
but
I
think
it's
a
very
effective
program
and
it's
not
high
level
information
but
its
ground
work,
and
this
that's
the
information
sharing
that
we
really
okay.
We
Excel
that
okay.
F
I
think
again:
I'm
not
that
I
mean
we
have
those,
but
those
are
more
about
special
events.
We
don't
get
the
crime
stats,
we
don't
get
the
amount
of
cars
broken
into.
We
don't
get
the
be
knees
down
there.
We
don't
get
that
information.
Sorry
information!
If
there's
any
sexual
offenders,
is
anyone
checking
on
them
like
a
sexual
offender
register,
do
every
two
weeks
in
Compton
that
we
make
sure
that's
going
on
so
I
agree.
There's
this
meetings,
but
it's
more
about
ships
coming
in
in
more
overview
of
who's.
F
So
all
those
clubs
in
that
area
throughout
the
city
sergeants,
are
constantly
inspecting
them
to
make
sure
there's
no
overcrowding
to
make
sure
there
is
no
over-serving
yeah.
You
know
make
sure
they're
not
serving
you
know,
I
license
people
go
down
there
and
check
for
that.
But
if
there's
an
incident
in
those
clubs,
nobody
reports
that
out
to
us
for
the
most
part
and
that's
why,
when
this
woman
called
fun
this
one
building,
she
said
that
place
has
been
nothing
but
a
pain.
F
Well,
we
knew
nothing
about
because
no
one
writes
reports
and
we
don't
write
up
the
place.
So
there
is
cooperation
on
the
Terrorism
and
on
that,
but
on
the
minor
neighborhood
stuff,
that's
where
we
we
sort
of
don't
get
the
information
we'd
like
to
have
so
when,
when
we
pour
out
to
council,
Flynn
and
Flowery
on
their
district,
we're
not
where
we
point
out
on
partial
information,
because
we
don't
really
have
a
good
snapshot
of
the
pot.
One
crime,
that's
going
down
there.
Okay,.
B
Know
that
anytime
there's
an
incident
that
occurs
in
a
licensed
establishment.
But
there
is
an
effort
to
get
those
reports
directly
from
the
State
Police
to
the
2c6,
so
that
if
enforcement
is
gonna
be
necessary
with
a
license
that
that
that
takes
place
that
has
taken
place
and
I.
Think
that
is
the
protocol
in
place
with
the
State
Police
to
forward
those
reports
for
for
any
violation,
issues
that
may
occur
and.
D
I'm
down
the
I'm
down
the
South
Boston
waterfront
almost
every
day,
that's
the
area
I
specifically
represent
in
residence.
There,
many
new
residents
and
they
that's
the
number
one
issue
they
ask
me:
why
isn't
the
Boston
Police
able
to
patrol
this
area
joint
jurisdiction?
I
really
don't
have
a
good
answer
for
them,
but
it's
something
that
needs
to
take
place.
It's
important
to
the
residents.
It's
a
quality
of
life
issue.
D
Commissioner
is
there:
is
there
any
way
that
we
can
continue
the
dialogue
with
with
whether
it's
this
meeting
or
another
meeting
with
with
State
Police
in
you
know,
come
up
with
the
plan
or
come
up
with
some
type
of
Memorandum
of
Understanding?
If
you
know
giving
Boston
Police
some
type
of
joint
jurisdiction,
if
it
doesn't
work
and
they
legislate
a
process?
Well,.
F
Again,
this
was
taken
away
from
us
legislatively
in
1997.
It
has
to
be
put
back
legislatively
because
to
to
have
the
power
arrest.
We
need
that
in
MoU.
All
that
does
is
make
us
special
offices
for
the
State
Police
and
you
know
in
an
MoU
can
be
pulled
at
any
time,
and
so
you
know
we
met
and
again
I
have
the
utmost
respect
for
Dan
back
with
the
colonel,
and
you
know
they
didn't
want
to
give
up.
You
know
primary
jurisdiction
down
there,
so
it
really
is
hasn't
gone
anyway.
F
So,
honestly,
we
had
a
decision
from
Martha
Coakley
years
back
on
this
very
issue
and
she
made
it
clear.
The
the
best
fix
is
a
legislative
change.
Here
you
know
an
MoU
is
not
going
to
work
because
that's
just
an
agreement
temporarily,
basically
where
we
become
special
offices
for
the
State
Police.
You
know
again,
this
is
about
concurring.
We
are,
they
will
have
the
street
like
they
do
throughout
the
city
and
we
will
police
the
houses,
the
businesses
and
whatnot
again.
Where
else
do
you
see
this
type
of
arrangement?
F
You
know
use
these
cities
and
towns
we'll
call
in
the
State
Police
when
they
need
them.
We
don't
need
them.
We
have
2,200
almost
cops,
who
do
a
great
job,
there's
365
other
towns
that
could
use
the
services
of
the
state
police
or
the
Massport.
It's
oversaturation
down
there.
You
know
they
should
be
on
the
beaches
in
the
summer
where
we
need
them
on
the
highways.
You
know
we
have
this
area
covered.
It
doesn't
take
a
whole
lot
more
a
resources.
So
I
don't
know
that
why
the
fight
is
so
great
about
this.
F
They
have
so
many
other
areas
across
the
state
to
patrol
it.
Someone
again
I've
said
it's
very
juvenile.
You
can't
have
it
it's
eyes.
You
know
this
is
a
part
of
the
city.
How
do
we
justify
the
Boston
Fire
in
Boston
EMS
gone
and
people
paying
city
taxes,
yet
they
don't
get
the
city
resources
which
bring
a
whole
spectrum
of
different
services,
whether
it's
our
sexual
assault
unit
bike
unit,
a
gang
unit.
You
know
we
specialize
we're,
not.
F
You
know
we're
getting
local
cops,
who
know
the
city
patrolling
that
neighborhood
the
state
come
from
all
over
the
state.
Someone
asks
your
directions.
How
do
you
get
here?
I,
don't
know
I'm
from
the
western
part
of
the
state.
I,
don't
know
how
to
get
there.
So
you
know
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense
to
have
local
cops,
patrolling
local
streets
right.
D
Gee
chief
cross
I
know
you
wanted
to
weigh
in
a
little
bit
I'm
gonna.
Do
I
I
see
you
at
so
many
events
and
you
do
an
excellent
job
of
you
know.
Keeping
the
public
informed
of
what's
happening,
a
very
transparent
you're
in
the
neighborhoods
you're
doing
a
lot
of
community
policing,
along
with
the
superintendent
I.
Think
that's!
What's
what's
great
about
the
Boston
place.
Is
that
open
dialogue
with
with
the
community?
Are
you
able
to
give
a
little
background
on
that
and
how
it
relates
to
this
issue
as
well?
Yes,.
E
That's
totally
ridiculous
to
me
we're
talking
about
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts,
a
place
that
began
this
entire
nation,
we're
talking
about
a
city
that
was
under
attack
twice
from
terrorists,
and
we
together
defeated
that
so
even
in
the
21st
century
study
on
policing.
Again,
as
the
Commissioner
stated,
President
Obama
said,
if
you
want
to
learn
about
community
policing
preparedness,
look
to
the
Boston
Police
Department
I
cannot
believe
that
again
we're
discussing
segregation.
E
This
is
also
about
domestic
preparedness,
defending
this
city,
defending
this
Commonwealth.
There
was
no
justification
for
saying
this.
We
can
train
together.
We
can
share
information
only
when
it
comes
to
real-time,
not
you!
You
know.
If
there's
a
fire,
the
fire
department
can
respond,
EMS
can
respond,
but
not
you
is
this.
What
we
want
to
send
out
as
a
message
to
anyone?
That's
looking
in
you're
fine,
but
not
you!
You
know
we
work
hard
to
end
segregation
and
we
need
to
even
work
harder
to
to
make
sure
we're
on
a
unified
front.
E
Any
study,
any
testimonies
will
show
that
the
only
people
benefiting
from
segregation
pretty
much
the
bad
guys,
people
who
don't
want
to
do
the
right
thing,
so
they
don't
see
us
on
a
unified
front.
It's
kind
of
like
wow,
Boston
police
can't
go
there.
These
guys
aren't
working
together,
they're
at
odds.
That
is
not
the
message
the
Sun,
especially
in
the
21st
century.
We
should
be
pass
against
segregation,
not
inclusion
and
exclusion,
and
in
closing
I
speak
to
a
lot
of
our
elected
officials,
both
on
the
Statehouse
level
and
here
in
the
city
of
Boston.
E
There
is
no
justification
for
not
doing
the
right
thing
for
your
constituency.
None
at
all.
How
can
you
even
explain
yourself
when
you
don't
even
show
up
to
talk
about
the
safety
of
the
city
of
Boston?
This
is
about
our
constituency
and
the
people
we
serve
and
I'm
glad
we're
at
the
forefront
and
we're
willing
to
speak
and
we're
willing
to
discuss
anything
that
has
to
do
with
the
safety
of
our
city
and
I.
A
G
B
G
You
can
someone
take
me
through
a
9-1-1
call,
so
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it's
it's
Public.
Safety
is
of
paramount
importance
and
I
think
that
the
person
that
would
call
9-1-1
they
would
I
would
argue
on
their
behalf
that
they
probably
wouldn't
care.
If
it
was
a
Boston
cop,
a
state
cop
or
a
Massport
cop.
They
just
need
help
right
from
someone.
You
know
it
could
be
EMS
or
it
could
be
the
fire
department.
So
if
you
can
just
take
me
through
a
9-1-1
call
so
say
I'm
a
resident
and
I'm
living.
G
You
know
in
one
of
the
condos
down
on
northern
Avenue,
say
that
I'm,
a
guest
of
the
Renaissance
Hotel
say
that
I'm,
a
patron
of
del
Frisco's,
say
I'm
a
motorist,
just
sort
of
driving
down.
You
know:
Seaport
Boulevard
and
I
call
911
one,
either
from
a
cell
phone
from
the
hotel
room
from
my
residence
and
or
from
the
business.
How
does
that?
What
happens?
Well,
one,
your
call
911
call
is
being
recorded.
What's
the
nature,
you
call.
F
F
Say,
let's
use
we
always
use
the
extreme,
it's
a
lab
pod.
Let's
say
which
we
got
a
lot
of
parties
down
there.
You
know
we
take
it
and
we
just
referred
to
framing
him,
which
then
Framingham
will
have
to
send
it
to
probably
the
massport
or
State
Police.
To
answer
a
house
call
which
again
is
crazy
to
me
that
you
have
troopers
in
maritime
cops
in
turn,
house
calls
or
answering
bait
bar
fights.
Now
just
listen
to
that
it.
It's
the
most
ridiculous
thing
you've
ever
heard,
but
that's
what
happens
on
that.
F
But
if
there's
really
an
emergency
like
someone
want
a
gun
or
an
after
shooter
I,
don't
care
about
the
jurisdiction?
I!
Really
don't
we'll
go
in.
You
know,
because
our
district
stations
not
far
away
and
we
have
patrols
a
botnet.
We
go
to
B
Street
and
it's
like
a
wall
and
then
we
pick
it
up
on
the
other
side,
so
we're
down
there.
But
you
know
an
emergency
I,
don't
care
whose
church
we're
gonna
get
there.
F
The
only
problem
is,
then:
we
have
to
turn
the
whole
investigation
over
for
them
to
conduct,
and
so
it's
so
dysfunctional
here-
and
you
know
what's
sad
to
me-
is
you
know
everyone?
You
talk
to
gently
individually,
the
elected
Steve
Lynch
has
come
out
for
dual
jurisdiction.
I
know,
I've
talked
to
Dean
Connolly,
he's
troubled
by
the
setup
down
there
and
the
globe
the
Herald
everybody
says,
fix
it
and
why
it's
not
being
done.
F
It
is
beyond
me
to
hear
again
I
have
all
the
respect
for
Massport
they're
here
you're
gonna
have
to
refer
to
the
legislature
because
we
can't
get
a
reason.
Why
is
ridiculous
because
I've
gone
to
the
legislature
and
I've
testified
and
I've
asked
them
the
same
questions,
and
nobody
can
give
me
a
reason.
I
think
you
know
we
all
know,
probably
the
reason
you
know,
because
no
one
has
the
courage
to
fix
it
because
of
you
know
whether
it's
Union
or
whatnot,
but
it's
it
just
shows
you
sometimes
how
its
politics
sometimes
can
be
dysfunctional.
F
G
When
you
talk
about
sort
of
the
crime
stat
piece
of
it,
that's
on
the
back
end.
So
on
the
front
end
like
in
terms
of
the
response
times,
are
we
tracking
the
response
time
so
again,
I
I
call
nine-one-one?
Is
there
a
situation
where
we
have
sort
of
State
Police
mask
or
place
in
Boston
at
the
front
door,
arguing
as
to
who
can
come
into
the
building
and
I'm
I
mean
we're
in
the
middle
of
a
you
know:
there's
a
crisis
on
the
10th
floor.
How.
F
Is
it
working
well,
I
think
all
three
go
and
then
you
know,
obviously
we
have
to
pull
out
at
that
point
because
they
have
again
sole
jurisdiction.
So
that's
again
the
most
ridiculous
thing.
I've
ever
heard
we
can
go
on
the
expressway
because
we
have
concurrent
jurisdiction
on.
We
can
go
on
the
beaches
because
we
have
concurrent
jurisdiction
and
we
can
help,
but
some
crazy
reason
Massport
has
in
the
legislature
has
supported
we.
These
are
like
you
know,
wall
barriers
that
we
can't
go
into
and
you
know
nowhere
else
in
the
state.
F
F
I'm
not
really
sure
it
was
tied
to
the
transportation
bill,
but
again
we
always
had
it.
It's
not
like
massport
has
had
this
property
for
ever
and
now
because
it's
built
up,
we
want
it.
I
remember
you
know
our
officers
used
to
be
patrolling
Jimmy's
homicide
down
there
in
that
whole
area
that
whole
northern
app
was
us,
but
someone
snuck
in
a
bill
and
took
it
away
from
us
and
we've
been
fight
for
10
years
to
get
it
back.
So
it's
not
like
all
of
a
sudden.
We
want
it.
G
There
was
my
understanding
that
at
some
point-
and
it's
predate
you
as
the
Commissioner
predates
the
chief
as
the
chief
predates
the
city,
current
city
and
state
administration,
but
it
was
the
previous
administrations.
I
was
told
that
there
was
an
MOU
and
parties
were
at
the
table
and
it
was
about
to
be
signed
and
either
a
sentence
or
a
word
was
either
inserted
or
deleted.
And
then
then
former
Commissioner
Davis
was
ordered
to
to
step
back
from
the
table
and
to
not
sign
it.
As
can
anyone
shed
any
light
on
that
mo
you
guys
again.
F
Mo
use,
don't
work,
counselor,
Martha
Coakley
was
at
given
and
given
this
whole
dispute-
and
she
says
it
needs
a
legislative
fix
now.
If
we
enter
an
MoU,
we
would
not
have
you
know
jurisdiction
in
the
sense
we
can
make
arrests.
We
would
basically
come
security
guides,
our
specials
for
the
State
Police,
and
if
we
were
involved
in
a
shooting
down
here,
the
state
police
would
investigate
it.
You
know
it's
a
ludicrous
setup.
We
not
be
special
police
yeah.
Well,
we're
a
excellent
police
department
with
has
been
recognized
nationally.
F
We
should
be
working
concurrently
down
there,
not
working
for
somebody.
You
know
I
think
we
do
a
great
job.
You
know
crime
continually
going
down
in
the
city
to
the
great
work
of
the
men
and
woman
in
this
department
and
again
we
have
2200
officers.
Just
in
our
city.
They
have
2200
in
the
state
covering
365
communities,
I
think
there's
better
places
than
being
down
the
Seaport
follow
my
think.
The
state
could
use
them
on
the
beaches
and
on
the
highways
all
across
this
state
and
then.
G
Chief
to
massport,
police
and
State
Police:
do
you
guys
track
the
crime
in
terms
of
the
part
one
crime?
Do
you
keep
a
running
list
of
that
and,
if
so,
can
through
the
check
and
you
submit
to
this
committee,
you
know
say
the
last.
You
know
say
two:
three
years
of
crimes
that
have
occurred
down
there,
where
either
the
Massport,
police
and
or
the
state
police
have
investigated
or
responded
to
the
call
or
reported
to
the
call
in
to
us
sent
them
up
to
I
would
assume.
B
B
G
Like
to
obviously
see
what,
if
any
data
is
collected
by
mass
sport,
police
or
State
Police
on
calls
crimes,
9-1-1
domestics,
whatever
you
have
down
there,
just
to
just
get
a
sense
as
to
what
we
get
down
there
and
then
the
commissioner
is
saying
through
mo
use.
Not
it's
not
gonna,
be
the
the
resolve.
Here.
It's
gonna
have
to
happen
through
state
legislation.
So
I
guess
so
there
are
there
parts
of
the
city.
Where
is
there
any
trade-off
here
where
we
can
get
concurrent
jurisdiction
down
around
the
South
Boston
waterfront
through
State
Police
in
Massport?
G
F
They
have
jurisdiction
throughout
the
state,
so
well,
there's
no
place
on
us
that
they
can't
go.
You
know
and
and
that's
my
argument.
They
have
the
whole
state
in
city
to
cover
and
that's
what
troubles
me.
You
just
heard
that
there's
nothing
going
on
down
there.
If
there's
nothing
going
down
there,
then
why
do
we
need
them
down
there?
We
can
pick
it
up
with
a
couple
additional
offices
and
that's
the
ludicrous
argument
here.
F
What's
the
big
deal,
if
there's
nothing
going
on
down
there,
and
even
with
the
concurrent
here
we
told
them,
they
can
have
every
detail,
they
want
down
there,
it's
not
about
the
money.
This
is
about
protecting
the
residents
with
city
police
down
here,
but
you've
heard
there's
nothing
going
on
down
there.
So
why
the
fight
you
know
we
have
police
resources
that
have
to
stop
at
B
Street
and
then
they
have
to.
They
pick
it
up
down
by
the
pavilion
and
it
goes
all
the
way
out
to
Samus
tree
and
even
Pappas
way.
Council.
F
G
F
Mbta
the
same
in
similar
all
throughout
the
state,
but
you
know
I
think
the
MBTA
realizes
we
were.
You
know
that
it's
better
to
work
together.
Then,
okay,
you
know
odds,
but
we
have
the
same
issue
in
East
Boston.
As
you
know,
in
Charlestown,
because
they're
building
and
building
on
mass
property
out
there
so
little
by
little
we're
losing
jurisdiction
out
there
even
yeah.
You
know
we
walk
our
dog
down
around
you
know:
god
bless
the
late,
Tommy
Papa,
you
know
the
path
down
there.
That's
that's
exclusively
Massport
property.
F
So
if
anything
was
even
going
to
happen
in
that
Park
we
don't
have
any
jurisdiction
yeah.
So
it's
troubling
that
a
lot
more.
The
city
is
being
developed
by
Massport
and
we
don't
have
police
jurisdiction
in
any
of
those
areas,
that's
being
developed
and
that's
why
I
was
hoping
the
chairman
Tom
Glen
would
be
here
rather
than
like
right.
Lettuce.
Come
here
and
tell
us
like
everybody,
give
us
one
good
reason:
I,
don't
think.
We've
had
a
good
reason
today.
F
G
H
Morning,
everyone
I'm
here
mostly
just
to
support
my
colleagues
I,
want
to
thank
you
all
for
keeping
this
on
the
front
burner.
I
know
that
you
know
we
had
passed.
We
voted
on
the
council
once
to
support
this
and
and
when
that
didn't
work,
I'm
really
glad
that
we're
asking
questions
in
real
time
today.
You
know
I
think
the
current
situation
is
absolutely
absurd.
It's
a
threat
to
the
health
and
safety
of
our
residents.
H
F
Again
yesterday
we
had
CompStat
where
a
Chester
in
South
Boston
was
up
and
we
looked
at
South
Boston's
crime
rate
in
you
know,
and
we
don't
get
in
formation
from
the
seaport.
So
when
we
look
at
the
overall
picture
of
whether
crime
is
up
in
and
down
even
for
UCI
reporting
issues
across
nationally,
that
data
doesn't
make
it
into
a
clump
that.
So,
if
there's
a
ration
card
breaks
within
that
area,
we
really
don't
know
about
it.
F
If
there's
a
rash
of
sexual
assaults
that
we
don't
get
the
call
to,
we
really
don't
know
about
it.
If
this,
like
I,
said
before
a
lot
of
problems
around
the
bars,
you
know
we
don't
really
know
about
it.
So,
when
we're
actually
reporting
out
on
that
district,
there's
a
section
that
whole
section,
we
don't
get
those
crime
stats
at
all
yeah.
We
share
information
on
threats
on
what
crucial
lines
are
coming
in
what
the
harpoon
festival
we
know
about
that,
but
the
nuts
and
bolts
of
what's
going
on
down
it.
F
We
don't
hear
a
whole
lot,
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
you
know
it
doesn't
seem
to
be
a
whole
lot
which
I
figured
they
wouldn't
be
because
you
know
it's
it's
a
more
happy
neighborhood
down
there.
But
you
know
we
don't
answer
your
question.
That's
like
a
black
hole
for
us.
We
don't
know
what
part
one
crime
is
going
down
there,
because
there's
no
reporting
mechanism
for
us
another.
H
Question
is,
and
the
other
thing
that
I
see
is
the
the
looming
threat
for
that
area.
In
addition
to
the
fast
population,
growth
is
how
vulnerable
it
is
to
climate
change
and
the
storms
and
flooding.
You
know:
East
Boston,
the
waterfront
and
all
you
know
all
the
way
down
toward
Chester
in
particular,
but
we've
already
seen
it
in
just
a
couple
months
ago
that
the
streets
get
flooded.
It's
hard
for
ambulances
to
get
through
and
in
those
situations
I
mean
is
the
is.
B
I'll,
go
back
to
the
largest
home
in
January
I
think
it
actually
works.
Seamless
was
with
Captain
Boyles
team
from
from
South
Boston
in
terms
of
blocking
off
years,
it
became
flooded
with
the
high
tide.
The
mass
port
has,
as
a
department
is
looking
at
this
long-term,
so
they're
engaged
in
that
and
I'm
sure
that
they've
engaged
the
city
for
a
longer-term
plan.
Flood
resiliency,
but
I
can't
speak
totally
to
to
the
climate
change
issue
other
than
the
incidence
where
there
has
been
flooding
with
high
tides
and
rows
have
had
to
be
secured.
H
Be
lucky
in
the
future
if
the
only
thing
we
have
to
do
is
block
off
some
roads,
I
mean
I,
worry
about
health,
emergent
medical
emergencies
happening
during
that
time
and
folks
needing
to
get
through
or
more
and
more
residents
needing
other
services
or
help,
or
you
know,
issues
with
stray
voltage
that
we're
going
to
have
a
hearing
on
later
Commissioner.
Do
you
have
any
thoughts
about
how
the
Boston
Police
would
approach
that
that
type
of
situation,
emergency
management,
in
that
with
the
relationship
with
the
city's
emergency
planning?
Well,.
F
I
know
we're
working
very
closely
with
Renee
fielding
on
on
that
whole
idea
of
the
flooding
down
the
I
know
the
mayor
takes
it
very
serious
and
you
know
the
flooding
down
there.
Thank
God.
It
wasn't
any
more
serious
but
I
think
as
far
as
the
emergency
management
stuff
goes,
we
cooperate
very
well,
but
one
of
the
issues
down
there
also
is
the
whole
idea
of
you
know
the
transportation
plan.
F
The
comprehensive
it
just
doesn't
make
sense
to
have
three
different
agencies
trying
to
get
traffic
out
of
there
every
night
and
also
we
don't
communicate
there
on
a
whole
different
Channel.
So,
if
you're
on
B
Street
on
this
side
of
the
intersection,
we
don't
know
what's
going
on
across
the
street
because
we're
all
on
separate
channels
here.
F
So
there
is
no
clear
communication,
there's
no
clear
unison
of
effort
when
we
have
an
incident
like
that,
because
we're
all
on
different
channels
for
the
most
part
down
there
and
I
know
they
experienced
experienced
major
traffic
issues
down
there.
Every
night
which
I
know
the
mayor
is
working
on,
but
it
doesn't
make
sense
to
have
three
different
agencies
on
three
different
channels:
trying
to
facilitate
emergency
services
as
well
as
transportation
services
down
there.
So
that's
another
big
issue.
A
I
Thank
You
chair
and
thank
you
to
the
sponsors
of
this
order.
I
think
that
it
if
I,
could
use
your
words
Commissioner
Evans.
This
whole
conversation
is
or
the
situation
I
suppose,
is
very
juvenile
and
I
wonder
on
the
data
and
getting
the
information
about
the
part.
One
crimes
in
particular,
but
all
of
the
data
from
down
there
is
there
an
opportunity
for
us
either
as
a
council
to
subpoena
that
data
I'm
wondering
if
maybe
through
the
chair,
if
there's
any
knowledge
of
a
way
that
we
could
access
that
data
as
a
body.
J
A
I
It's
also
embarrassing
to
know
that
the
State
Police
are
not
present
for
this
meeting
and
it
certainly
demonstrates
I
think
what
chief
Grasse
is
saying
about
this
lack
of
a
unified
front.
So
I
don't
may
think
that
our
respect,
you
know
my
questions
would
probably
be
best
answered
by
the
State
Police
regarding
types
of
crimes,
the
the
rate
of
crime,
but
then
also
data
on
any
of
the
response
times.
Would
we
have
that
you
know
the
the
average
response
time
to
a
to
a
911
call
I'm.
I
D
B
D
D
But
there
was
the
Boston
Police
was
there,
but
they
someone
was
mentioning
from
the
South
Boston
barracks
I,
believe
Braintree,
there's
only
two
or
three
troopers
that
are
working
at
one.
It
had
one
time
and
there's
one
in
the
barrack.
So
that's
a
big
area,
but
but
not
only
that
they
still
have
troopers
at
the
South
Boston
waterfront
permanently
separate.
K
B
D
And
then
my
my
other
question
I
know
councillor
sabe
George
asked
about
it
and
I
the
state
rule
State
Police
are
not
here,
but
as
the
district
City
Council.
That
would
be
important
for
me
to
know
what
the
what
the
crime
stats
say
in
the
South
Boston
waterfront.
We
go
to
community
meetings
there
every
time
every
night
talking
to
residents
and
not
knowing
about
what's
happening
in
the
South
Boston
waterfront
is
not
is
not
helpful
to
us.
D
So
I
just
think
they're
doing
a
poor
job
of
communicating
not
only
with
the
elected
officials
but,
more
importantly,
with
the
with
the
neighbors
in
that
area
they
deserve.
They
deserve
to
be
treated
with
respect.
They
live
there,
they
pay
their
fair
share
of
taxes
and
they
want
the
same
level
of
basic
city
services.
And
that's-
and
you
know
that's
what
they
want
is
they
want
the
Boston
Police
patrolling
the
cellphone,
some
waterfront
and
I'm,
looking
forward
to
talking
more
to
the
State
Police
when
they
do
arrive.
A
G
G
Is
there
a
I
guess,
there's
a
daily
manpower
so,
for
example,
every
day
Monday
through
Friday
into
a
seven
days
a
week,
this
X
amount
of
mesh
port
police
office
is
assigned
to
the
area,
there's
X
amount
of
State
Police
and
then
in
an
instance
like
today,
you
get
a
graduation,
probably
down
I'm
swimming
down
at
the
pavilion
there's
a
graduation
ceremony
down
there
plus
the
cruise
ships
are
then
based
on
the
manpower
you
you
beefed
it
up.
If
you.
G
Think
could
we
get
a
list
of
I
guess
daily
staffing?
If
you
will
so
it's
24/7,
you
had
referenced
earlier.
So
if
we
can
get
an
idea
through
the
committee
as
to
how
many
mass
support
police
officers
are
down
there
on
a
given
day
or
a
shift
in
how
many
State
Police
are
down
there
in
a
given
shift
that
that
would
be
important
to
to
see
what
we
have
from
me
and
power
down
there
through
the
chair
for
your
mind,
yeah
and
and
then
also
the
number
of
new
residents
down
there.
G
Council
of
woo
had
referenced
that
who
do
we
have
an
exact
number
of
because
I
obviously
97.
It
really
wasn't
a
lot
Commission,
but
now
there's
a
significant
amount.
Do
we
have
a
number
of
do?
We
do?
We
know
the
actual
number
of
residences
that
are
down
in
the
South
Boston
waterfront
portion
that
BPD
does
not
have
concurrent
jurisdiction
on
there's.
G
And
they're
beaten
this
more
coming
down
sort
of
where
you
enter
where
rate
flow
marine
industrial
park
is
on.
It's
a
possible
cue.
Tell
me
what
pass
okay
I'm
sorry!
So
that's
another
that'll,
be
another
residential
department
coming
out.
Hotel
resident
L
resident
actually
got
you
and
yeah,
so
we
get
a
number
of
the
both
residential
as
well
as
hotel
guests
on
any
given
day.
That's
down
on
that!
How
did
the
cell
awesome
waterfront
that
we
don't
currently
have
a
concurrent
jurisdiction
and
then
Commissioner?
F
The
only
issue
is
it's:
it's
at
the
well
of
them
reporting
it
to
us,
and
you
know,
and
again
I
use
the
example.
This
one
woman
call
me
telling
me
this
place
is
out
of
control
and
when
I
call
the
licensing
board,
there's
not
one
violation
against
them,
so
you
know
they
might
turn
some
over.
But
for
the
most
part
you
know
we
have
licensing
units
that
do
that
across
the
city,
but.
F
F
So,
let's
for
the
most
part,
if,
if
there's
a
use,
the
example
of
overcrowding
which
can
be
a
criminal
offense,
I'm,
not
sure
right
now
that
we
can
even
write
them
up,
because
we
have
no
jurisdiction
on
that
particular
incident,
we
can
write
them
up
civilly,
but
if
we
were
to
see
a
crime
in
there,
when
we
were
there
unit
licensing,
you
buy
this
sole
jurisdiction.
We
wouldn't
be
able
to
lock
up,
even
though
we
were
there.
So
it
just
shows
you
how
dysfunctional
it
is.
G
F
When
I
called
on
this
place,
because
the
woman
says
she
calls
on
this
particular
place
and
I
call
Christie
and
she
didn't
have
any
violations
for
the
place
and
that's
the
type
of
stuff
we
do
and
even
yesterday,
I
was
on
Joe
Boyle
about
with
all
the
establishments
in
South
Boston,
with
the
warm
weather
coming,
we
got
to
make
sure
these
windows
are
closed
on
time.
We
got
to
watch
him
because
I'm
sure
council,
a
planning,
your
priority,
I
hear
it
from
my
neighbors
and
so
I.
Don't
want
that
area.
F
G
Okay
and
then
shifting
back
over
the
chief,
so
in
the
instance
of
either
and
then
one
call
or
there's
a
bar
fight,
so
you
guys
respond
either
the
Massport
police
respond
or
the
state
police
respond,
and
then
they
the
break
up
the
fight,
but
are
they
they
are?
They
are
they
making
reports?
Are
they
turning
those
reports
over
to
someone?
The
city's
licensing
board
is
not
getting
those
reports,
but
so
what
are
those
do
they
make
reports
and
where
do
they
go.
B
Response,
obviously
the
Commission
is
correct:
I
mean
bosses
coming
bosses
coming
on
nine
one.
One
would
never
tell
them
not
to
come,
but
then
you
know
particularly
incidents
of
a
bar
fight
if
it
wasn't
9
1
1
to
a
bar
fight
and
report
needed
to
be
generated.
That
would
be
where
the
State
Police
Seaport,
sergeant
who's
assigned,
would
deal
directly
with
the
district
and
forward
that
report
and.
B
G
B
Want
to
speak
directly
with
what
the
SP
would
do
with
it,
but
my
experience
and
knowledge
of
it
is
that
they
deal
directly
with
the
district
on
it
and
then
when
they
would,
if
the
report
were
generated
and
then
whatever
the
district
would
do
it
I
would
imagine,
be
dealt
with
through
licensing.
Okay.
G
And
the
same
applies
if
there
was
an
incident
that
happened
down
on
one
of
the
cruise
ships
or
somewhere
down
around
the
waterfront
same
thing.
9-1-1
calls
you
guys
show
a
report
would
be
may've
taken
turned
over
somewhere,
but
the
city's
licensing
board
has
to
start
to
ask
if
the
city's
licensing
board
is
not
getting
those
reports.
G
B
That
I
think
over
the
years
the
protocol
has
become
to
deal
with
the
district,
so
the
district
is
aware
of
it
and
then
we've
left
it
to
them
to
notify
the
licensing
board.
I,
don't
think
there
has
been
an
occurrence
with
SPS
notified
the
licensing
board
directly.
I,
don't
want
to
say
for
certainty,
but
I
believe
that
to
be
when.
G
You
reference
district
you're,
not
that
you're
not
saying
like
the
c6
did
the
Boston
police
c6
district
you're
referencing,
like
the
substance
district,
so
this
will
take
me
through
again.
So
there's
a
9-1-1
call
tell
Frisco's
someone
smashed
a
bottle
over
someone
else's
head.
You
guys
show
up.
A
report
is
generated
right.
Basically,
one
way
it
works
now.
Cheer
woman
pull
Gina
doesn't
even
know
about
this
incident
right
because
she
doesn't
have
anything
in
writing.
You
guys
do
the
investigation
make
out
a
report
and
then
you
reach
out
to
c6
and
say
hey.
G
B
G
F
G
F
In
the
reporting,
sometimes
you
know
they
don't
the
way
the
reporting
is
I
think
stay.
Is
they
have
a
couple
days
to
fill
out
their
reports
and
I
think
sometimes
they
fall
to
the
crates.
They
fall
through
the
cracks
where
you
know,
I
need
to
be
poets
every
morning
and
I
make
sure
if
there's
a
fight
at
a
licensed
premise,
that
is
a
violation
written
because
that's
the
only
way
we
can
really
make
sure
these
places
are
safe
and
that
the
responsive
to
the
neighborhood,
because
no
one
should
have
to
live
with
a
place.
G
Right
and
so
I
would
say
in
the
interim,
while
we
try
to
resolve
the
concurrent
jurisdiction
over
to
the
chief
I
think,
we
would
need
to
tighten
that
up
too.
Some
of
us
are
born
and
said
in
the
event
of
a
licensed
premise:
violation.
There's
got
to
be
sort
of
a
mechanism
by
which
we
have
the
ability
to
cite
on
the
spot
very
much
like
Commissioner
just
described.
G
B
A
You,
mr.
Tremont,
thank
you
for
the
record.
We've
been
joined
by
city,
councilor,
Lydia,
Edwards
Commissioner,
a
couple
questions:
we've
talked
about
sexual
assault,
domestic
assault
robbery
as
a
neighborhood
gets
going,
and
you
know
that
neighborhood
is
a,
as
you
said,
upper
end
or
whatever.
What
about
drugs?
Drug
unit,
who's
gonna,
take
care
of
that
stuff,
because
I
know
that
you
deal
with
them
a
lot
more
than
I.
A
F
You
know
we
got
a
very
good
drug
unit
and
you
know
again
we
don't
if
it's
in
that
area.
The
rest
would
be
questionable
because
of
the
way
the
statue
is,
but
hopefully
we
would
take
them
out
before
they
got
into
that
sort
of
no-man's
land.
But
you
know
I,
don't
know
if
we've
had
an
issue
like
that,
but
III
think
the
issue
is
very
much
like
the
license
promise.
You
know
mass
poet
might
go
to
the
call,
but
then
they
turn
over
the
state
place.
Then
they
turn
it
over.
F
F
It's
it
shouldn't,
be
three
agencies
dealing
with
one
one
particular
issue
down
there,
and
so
the
drug
unit
issue
again,
you
know
technically
by
statue,
there's
no
right
of
a
rest
from
B
Street,
all
the
way
over
to
the
Pahlavi
Fleet
for
variant
all
the
way
to
some
Street
in
in
in
East
Boston
on
those
properties
on
Charlestown,
and
so
that's
the
that's
the
issue
here.
It's
you
know
again:
State
Police,
a
great
group
of
men
and
women
mass
porn,
this
isn't
being
personal
at
all.
This
is
just
about
you
know.
F
The
whole
issue
which
again
is
is
is
crazy.
Here
we
should
be
working
together,
not
at
odds
yeah,
but
why
they
want
to
hold
on
to
this
piece
when
they
have
so
much
area
to
patrol
around
the
state
is
beyond
me.
We
should
be
working
together,
not
in
this
day
and
age
of
terrorism.
Last
thing
we
need
is
not
to
be
on
the
same
channel
not
to
be
working
at
odds
on
whether
it's
here
or
anywhere
in
the
state
I
was.
E
A
You
I'm
confident
they're
not
watching
today,
pretty
sure
about
that.
So
chief,
my
last
question
to
you-
and
you
know:
we've
gone
round
and
around
and
around
and
around
and
and
I
asked
this
question
in
all
sincerity,
not
to
be
a
wise
guy
or
smart
aleck,
as
my
dad
would
say,
but
I
still
haven't
gotten
the
answer
of
of.
Why
like
why,
personally,
why,
as
a
chief,
why
doesn't
concurrent
jurisdiction
make
sense
to
Massport
to
Tom
Glenn,
to
Dan
Bennett,
to
colonel
Gilpin,
to
whoever?
Why
doesn't
it
make
sense?
Well,.
B
B
L
Just
a
couple
of
questions
and
to
note
I
appreciate
your
services
of
both
departments
in
East
Boston,
that
I
represent
East
Boston
Charlestown
on
the
north
end
and
I
just
wanted
to
say,
especially
for
the
the
guys
who
represent
a
seven.
What
I've
seen
continually
is
that
the
community
has
grown
in
trust
and
respect
and
they're
excited
to
see
those
police
officers.
So
when
I
see
this
disconnect
or
this
lack
of
concurrent
jurisdiction,
it's
a
real
concern.
L
So
I
would
love
to
see
if
Massport
is
so
interested
in
keeping
this
jurisdiction
that
they
start
coming
to
the
community
meetings
and
doing
the
work
that
a
lot
of
BPD
offices
are
doing
to
to
forge
those
relationships.
If
that's
so
important
for
them
to
have
single
jurisdiction,
then
I'd
like
to
see
them
do
the
work,
because
what
I've
seen
is
with
a
lot
of
the
immigrant
populations,
a
lot
of
the
people
in
my
jurisdiction,
they
go
to
BPD,
they
go
to
a
seven.
We
see
them
at
the
soup
kitchens.
L
We
see
them
put
the
work
in
so
that
they
earn
that
trust
so
that
we
can
come
to
them.
So
if
Massport
is
so
dedicated
to
having
that
single
jurisdiction,
that
I
think
it's
time
that
they
step
up
and
start
to
do
that
work
as
well
and
take
on
the
concurrent
jurisdiction
of
community
service
can
concurrent
jurisdiction
of
community
policing
or
you
could
just
allow
BPD
to
continue
that
service
on
to
mass
port
jurisdiction.
So
that's
one.
L
L
No
I
know
the
distance
in
the
parks,
but
in
terms
of
the
criminal
jurisdiction
and
the
crime.
Okay
and
then
part
of
the
other
parts
that
I
wanted
to
discuss
was
with
in
Charlestown
on
the
mass
Portland.
That
is
a
great
deal
of
what
is
the
jurisdiction
between
a
1
and
and
the
mass
port
police.
Well,.
F
Again
anywhere
that
it's
mass
sport
property,
they
have
sole
jurisdiction
down
there.
So
we
don't
we're
not.
We
don't
have
any
powers
on
Massport
property,
whether
it's
in
Charlestown
art,
East
Boston,
and
so
you
know
it's
not
concurrent
and
that's
why
we
were
hoping.
You
know
again
not
to
touch
the
airport,
because
we
know
the
you
know.
The
troopers
is
in
Massport
do
a
super
job,
but
in
our
city,
neighborhoods
such
as
Yas
and
in
Charlestown,
East
Boston,
all
Massport
property
right
now
is
exclusive
jurisdiction
of
the
math
point.
So.
L
F
You
see
911,
we
get
the
call
initially
and
it
based
on
the
nature.
It's
emergency
obviously
we'll
always
respond
and
then
we'll
have
to
turn
it
over
to
the
state.
But
if
it's
a
minor
incident,
we'll
send
it
to
Framingham
and
then
Framingham
will
forward
it
to
the
appropriate
mass
port
or
state
police
officer.
So.
K
B
D
My
final
statement
as
I
as
I
highlighted
earlier,
this
proposal
would
not
take
away
the
authority
of
the
State
Police.
It
seeks
only
to
give
the
Boston
place
the
same
police
jurisdiction
as
a
State
Police
in
the
city
of
Boston.
My
neighborhood,
the
South
Boston
waterfront,
has
dramatically
changed
in
the
decades
since
the
current
arrangement
on
the
waterfront
was
approved.
D
There
are
more
businesses
residents
than
ever
before
in
the
area
and
the
residents
of
the
South
Boston
waterfront
are
entitled
to
the
same
basic
city
services,
including
police
services,
Boston
Police
Services
as
it
as
any
neighborhood
does
across
the
city.
I
have
great
confidence,
great
respect
and
admiration
for
the
Boston.
Police
have
worked
with
them
for
10
years
as
a
probation
officer
at
Suffolk,
Superior
Court
I've
seen
the
work
they've
done
in
the
community
and
I
think
it's
about
time
that
Boston
Police
says
joint
jurisdiction
in
the
South
Boston
waterfront
Thank
You.
G
G
If
we
can
just
get
in
the
room
and
try
to
figure
this
out
into
a
work
with
the
state
legislature
to
to
resolve
it,
I'm
on
board
with
that.
So
again,
this
is
in
casting
aspersions.
Everyone
does
a
great
job
in
respect
to
their
own
Lane
and
I
also
know
we
do
a
great
job
when
we're
all
working
together.
G
A
K
My
name
is
tamas
Pratt
I'm,
a
resident
of
South
Boston
I've
lived
in
Charlestown,
also
I
am
a
Boston
police
officer
and
what
the
council
was
saying
in
with
the
commissioner
and
chief
everyone's
saying
this
is
absurd.
I
find,
if
I'm,
if
I'm
coming
home
from
work
some
night
and
I'm
driving
by
a
park
or
a
playground
in
your
neighborhood,
your
neighborhood
and
something
happens
on
Mass
bought
property.
I
can't
activate
myself
that
being
a
police
officer
in
the
city
of
Boston
I
have
no
powers
whatsoever.
The
most
thing
you
do
is
call
9-1-1
I.
K
A
You
very
much
mr.
Pratt,
so
as
we
wrap
up
you
know,
my
final
statement
is
really
simple:
we
all
work
for
the
people
of
Commonwealth
we're
just
a
city
of
Boston
like
we
do
with
a
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts
like
you
do
I'm,
not
a
cop
I,
don't
pretend
to
be,
but
I
do
have
a
job
to
spawns
and
respect
to
the
City
of
Austin
and
the
people
who
live
here.
Even
though
this
is
not
my
district
I
find
it.
A
We've
used
the
word
absurd
too
many
times
probably,
but
when
fire
is
responding
in
EMS
is
responding.
I
used
to
work
for
Public
Works,
we
plow
the
streets,
we
fixed
the
potholes,
even
the
BPD.
A
way
up
on
the
ninth
floor
has
a
uses
their
authority
to
development
down
there
and,
as
chief
grass
put
it
so
eloquently,
everybody
can
play
in
the
sandbox
except
you
and
I
think
it
is
absurd.
The
last
thing
I
would
say
is
that
Senator
Nick
Collins
former
rep
now
senator
Nick
Collins,
who
was
sworn
in
last
week.
A
A
I
think
that
everybody
in
this
body
we
work
awfully
hard
and
as
council
Edwards,
that
said,
you
know
we're
at
the
soup
kitchens.
You
know
we're
at
the
community
meetings
we're
at
the
community
breakfast
we're
at
the
fundraisers,
we're
at
the
flag-raising
later
on
I'd
love
to
have
you
at
the
Haitian
flag,
raising
in
about
five
minutes.
There's
a
lot
of
good
things
going
on
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
what
I
mean
by
saying.
That
is
that
it
is
the
city
of
Awesome
and,
as
mr.
Pratt
stated,
police
officer,
Pratt
stated.
A
You
know
to
not
be
able
to
activate
yourself
to
not
be
able
to
do
your
sworn
duty
because
of
nonsense.
Legislation
is
absurd,
so
again
to
repeat
myself
time
we
will
have
another
hearing.
Will
we
will
be
reaching
out
to
the
the
authorities
that
were
requested
to
be
at
the
hearing
the
first
time?
And
hopefully
we
get
it
right.
