Thank

we're
very
excited
to
be
here
at
Horacio,
Harris,
Park
I'll
tell
you
when
I
came
here
five
years
ago,
I
remember
that
the
day
I
got
transferred
here
to
be
and
I
became
the
new
CEO,
so
I
put
on
my
uniform
and
I
looked
in
the
mirror.
I
was
getting
dressed.
That
morning
my
wife
was
watching
me
and
I
turned
to
her
and
I
says
honey.
B
B
A
Right,
everybody
and
now
I
would
like
to
introduce
our
command
staff.
I
am
right.
Over
here,
I
have
deputy
superintendent,
Cox
deputy
Cox
hello,
everybody
right
over
here,
the
man
walking
up.
We
have
deputy
superintendent,
Dennis
white
Dennis,
wait
everybody
over
there
shaking
hands
and
kissing
babies.
We
have
the
Chief
of
Police,
the
highest-ranking
member
of
the
Boston
Police
Department
in
uniform,
the
first
african-american
chief
of
police
in
the
city
of
Boston
history,
William
gross.
A
Right
up
front!
We
have
the
police,
commissioner,
who
has
served
in
every
rank
from
patrolman
to
sergeant,
to
lieutenant,
to
captain
to
superintendent
and
now
he's
our
Police
Commissioner,
William,
Evans
and,
of
course,
the
man
of
the
evening.
My
boss,
mayor
Martin,
Walsh
everybody
now
tonight
we're
celebrating
something
right,
we're
celebrating
a
lot
of
things,
we're
celebrating
National
Night,
Out,
okay,
and
it
wasn't
always
nice
to
celebrate
in
this
city,
especially
in
Roxbury
back
in
1989,
okay
1989.
A
We
had
an
incident
happen
up
in
Mission
Hill.
Okay,
there
was
a
there
was
a
man
and
his
wife
were
supposedly
on
their
way
to
the
hospital,
and
the
man
claimed
that
there
was
a
suspect
that
came
over
to
rob
them
stole
their
jewelry,
stole
their
purchase,
stole
their
money
and
then
he's
claimed
that
the
man
shot
him
and
his
wife
and
his
unborn
child.
Everybody
remember
that
right
and
everybody
was
up
in
arms.
Everybody
was
up
in
arms
about
it.
A
The
whole
state
was
talking
about
bringing
back
the
death
penalty
right
and
we-
and
we
were-
we
were
a
standing
army
here
in
Roxbury
back
then
the
Boston
Police
were
standing
on
me
back.
Then
we
stopped
every
car
driven
by
a
black
man
and
stopped
every
14
15
year-old
kid
on
the
way
to
store
for
his
mother
right,
and
it
was
right
and
it
was
sloppy
police
work
and
it
was
unconstitutional
and
we
were
a
standing
army
shortly
after
that
we
found
out
that
he
had
done
it
himself.
A
A
When
I
took
over
the
office
five
years
ago,
we
had
60
community
meetings
with
the
community
with
the
neighborhood
folks,
right
here
and
over
five
years
to
talk
about
the
success
that
we've
had
we've
more
than
doubled
that
in
five
years
we
have
127
standing
meetings
a
month
in
this
district
alone,
more
so
than
any
other
district
in
the
city
and
I.
Thank
all
of
you,
alright.
So
now,
I'm
gonna
make
the
announcement
for
the
top
crime
watch
group
of
the
Year
award
for
2017,
and
this
year's
award
is
going
to
go
to
the
st.
A
B
A
A
All
right,
Thank,
You,
st.
Patrick's
and
now
I
I
have
to
tell
a
quick
story.
When
I
came
here
five
years
ago,
my
very
first
contact
with
the
community
was
over
and
up
on
this
corner
and
I
was
given
his
name.
I
was
given
his
number
and
I
was
told.
The
first
thing
you
need
to
do
on
your
first
day
is
call
this
man
he's
worked
with
the
police
for
three
years
prior
helping
us
to
reduce
Cape
Verdean
violence
in
the
upins
corner
area.
A
Okay,
I've
worked
with
this
man
for
the
past
five
years
and
it
wasn't
my
last
call.
I
called
this
guy
two
to
three
times
a
week
he's
my
very
first
Ally
and
he's
been
an
ally.
The
Boston
Police,
Department
and
area
b2
community
service
office
for
the
past
eight
years,
and
the
work
that
he
has
done
has
dramatically
reduced
the
amount
of
firearms
violence
in
the
uplands
corner
area,
his
name,
and
he
is
the
city
of
Boston
Police,
Department
crime
fighter
of
the
year
year,
2017
mr.
Elias
Montero.

C
All

It's

few
months.
The
last

of
years.
The

really
stepped
up
for
us
and

that
you've
done
to
be
a
good
part
of
this

femme
and
Commissioner
Evans,
a
soon-to-be

this
community
so
well.
Thank

tonight.
We
really
appreciate
it
and
with
that,
let
me
introduce
one
of
the
real
great
guys
out
there.
E
F
First
of
all,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
all
of
the
seniors
here
that
paved
the
way,
so
I
could
be
here
in
this
capacity.
Thank
you
now
you
heard
from
everybody
on
the
stage,
but
look.
This
is
unity.
This
is
what
it's
going
to
take
to
make
sure
that
our
crime
rates
continue
to
drop
and
everybody
working
together
and
not
in
individual
silos.
F
When
we
say
community
policing
we
mean
everybody,
you
know
it
took
a
village
to
raise
me
never
saw
my
father,
but
from
nosy
miss
Parker
to
Vietnam
vets
to
everybody
in
the
community.
That's
why
I'm
here?
That's.
Why
I'm
thanking
the
seniors
I
think
we
have
a
great
team
in
Boston,
so
I
don't
want
to
see
anyone
pointing
fingers
unless
they're
doing
something
right.
That
is
right,
but
I
am
so
proud
to
be
here.
F
Every
stop
we
made
today,
everybody
in
the
community
came
out
the
Commissioner
myself
go
across
the
country
and
I'm
telling
you
right
now.
You're
number
one
Boston
is
number
one,
give
yourselves
a
hand
and
again
the
teamwork
from
the
mayor.
The
City
Council
is
the
DA
and
hey
Rev
come
on
up
and
agriculture.
F
This
is
he's
got
a
cool
name.
His
name
is
Willie
Reverend
Patrick
right
and
the
mayor
has
tasked
me
Sunday
the
7th
you're
looking
at
the
MCS
for
the
gospel
concert
at
City,
Hall
plaza,
so
I
need
a
rubber
with
me,
so
I
don't
catch
on
fire.
So,
but
thank
you
community.
Thank
you
for
raising
me
and
we
got
a
lot
of
work
to
do
because
we
have
the
future
right
here
front
of
us,
the
youth
of
Boston.
Thank
you.
G
So
my
name
is
Reverend
Willie
Bob
Duke,
a
second
I
am
here
in
my
capacity
as
outreach
coordinator
for
attorney
general
Maura,
Healey
Barney
Lee
has
been
working
diligently,
so
on
behalf
of
you
and
and
the
message
we
want
to
bring
today-
is
that
this
work
that
we
do
is
not
about
us.
It's
all
about
this
community
I
live
on
Warren
Street,
I
work
at
twelve
Baptist
Church
and
sister
pastor
and
I've.
Seen
many
of
your
faces.
G
We've
instituted
our
programming
around
community
action
hours
where
we're
coming
after
hours,
working
alongside
with
organizations,
we've
done
mediations
and
done
collaborations
with
BPD,
as
well
as
with
community
organizations.
We've
been
very
grateful
for
our
elected
officers
who
have
worked
in
collaboration,
but,
more
importantly,
this
work
is
about
our
community
maura
hidden
wants
you
to
know
that
she
is
the
people's
law.
Firm
I
tell
people
most
of
time
that
the
work
that
we
do
is
not
really
about
criminal
work.
G
It's
about
public
protection
and
advocacy
so
we're
working
on
behalf
of
civil
rights,
working
on
behalf
of
immigrants,
rights,
working
on
behalf
of
workers,
rights,
we're
working
on
a
file
young
people.
This
summer
we
gave
away
over
three
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
79
organizations
across
the
Commonwealth
for
summer
youth
jobs.
That's
the
work
that
we're
trying
to
do.
This
is
the
second
year
in
a
row.
We've
been
able
to
do
that,
because
this
is
not
about
us.
It's
all
about
our
young
people.
It's
all
about
our
families.
G
It's
all
about
our
community
and
our
community
is
what
makes
this
city
great
and
so
I
want
to
give
you
greetings
on
behalf
of
attorney
general
Maura.
Healey
know
that
we're
fighting
very
diligently
against
the
administration
on
things
that
needs
to
be
done
to
kept
the
responsibility
done,
we're
also
working
very
diligently
to
make
sure
that
each
and
every
one
of
us
can
live
healthy,
valuable
lives.
That's
the
work
that
we're
going
to
do
we're
going
to
continue
to
work
on
your
behalf.
G
I
actually
brought
some
hotline
sheets
because
we
have
a
hotline
that
we
have
open
five
days
a
week
from
9:00
to
4:00
p.m.
we
want
you
to
get
these
sheets.
You
want
to
get
them
to
you.
There
are
connections
to
all
of
our
divisions
in
the
office.
We
do
the
work
of
mediation.
We
also
do
the
work
of
helping
those
who
are
in
need.
Please
reach
out
to
us.
We
are
a
resource
we
are
advocating
on
your
back
again.
My
name
is
Willie
