Description
Mayor Walsh hosts a swearing-in ceremony for Boston's 43rd Police Commissioner, Dennis White, followed by a snow storm update and media availability to discuss updates relating to COVID-19.
A
Thank
you,
everybody.
I
know
we're
getting
settled
in
here.
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
being
here
today
today,
we're
going
to
officially
swear
in
the
43rd
police,
commissioner
of
the
city
of
boston
and
dennis
white,
we're
going
to
conduct
the
oath
and
I'm
going
to
invite
our
new
commissioner
up
to
say
a
few
words
after
that
we're
going
to
give
the
covid
update
our
chief
marty.
Martinez
will
also
be
here
to
answer
any
questions
on
covid
and
I'll.
A
Then
talk
about
our
preparations
for
the
snowstorm,
that's
coming
today
in
the
next
couple
hours
and
into
tomorrow,
and
what
we
need
to
do
to
remain
safe.
But
before
I
begin
I'd
like
to
ask
pastor
arthur
gerald
to
lead
us
in
prayer,
the
the
former,
the
retired
pastor,
I
should
say
of
boston's
12th
baptist
church,
a
dear
friend
to
me
personally,
into
the
city
of
boston,
pastor,.
A
B
B
On
this
particular
day,
oh
lord,
I
pray
for
my
brother
dennis
white
and
his
family
who,
on
this
day,
is
being
elevated
to
the
position
of
police.
Commissioner
for
the
city
of
boston,
may
the
words
of
the
old
testament
prophet
micah,
chapter
6
and
verse
8
bring
forth
within
his
spirit
and
guide
him
in
the
position.
As
commissioner,
as
it
reads,
he
has
shown
you
o
man,
what
is
good
and
what
does
the
lord
require
of
you,
but
to
do
justly
to
love
mercy
and
to
walk
humbly
with
your
god.
B
A
Thank
you,
pastor
gerald,
and
I
want
to
just
to
the
folks
that
are
watching
this
press
conference.
Pastor
gerald
leads
a
peace
walk
in
in
in
roxbury
during
the
summer
time
a
couple
times
a
week
and
a
couple
shifts
during
those
times,
and
we've
had
some
incredible
walks
through
warring
gardens
and
different
parts
around
around
new
being
square
and
through
the
square.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
guidance,
your
leadership,
your
friendship
and
the
prayers
for
boston
and
always
being
there
any
time
that
we
call
you.
So.
A
Thank
you,
my
friend
before
I
move
into
the
swearing-in.
I
want
to
take
a
few
moments
to
recognize
and
thank
commissioner
grass
for
his
leadership
and
his
37
years
of
service
to
the
people
of
the
city
of
boston.
One
of
my
proudest
moments
as
mayor
was
appointing
willie
gross
police.
Commissioner,
back
in
2018
he's
somewhere
he's
right
there
I
was
looking
for
him.
A
A
That's
certainly
how
he's
navigated
this
department,
through
this
monumental
change,
that
we're
going
through
right
now
and
what
we
experienced
last
summer
as
we
battled
covid,
we
worked
together
to
produce
the
most
ambitious
set
of
police
reforms
in
the
boston
police.
Department's
history,
commissioner
gross
leaves
behind
certainly
a
inspiring
legacy,
whether
it
was
making
history
as
boston's.
A
A
I
want
to
wish
you
in
the
city
of
boston,
want
to
wish
you
the
best
in
the
next
chapter
and
hope
you
enjoyed
a
well-deserved
retirement,
even
though
he
retired
he
was
on
a
call
this
morning
with
us,
and
he
was
talking
to
me
all
weekend
about
what's
going
on
in
the
city
of
boston,
so
enjoy
yourself.
My
friend
and
thank
you
for
everything
that
you've
done.
A
And
now
I'm
excited
to
name
dennis
white
as
the
43rd
commissioner
of
the
boston
police
department.
He
certainly
is
a
seasoned
and
well
respected
veteran
of
the
boston
police
department.
Having
served
the
community
for
32
years,
he
had
extensive
experience
in
both
investigation
and
patrol
positions
and
he
played
many
roles
in
serving
our
neighborhoods.
A
He
began
his
career
in
d6
in
south
boston,
as
a
police
officer.
Actually,
a
quick
story
I
was
talking
to
commissioner
joe
finn,
the
other
day
and
dennis
was
actually
a
firefighter
and
they
said
that
he
was
not
cut
out
to
be
a
firefighter,
so
he
had
to
join
the
police
department.
So
I
just
want
to
say,
commissioner
fed
said
that
to
you
this
weekend
so,
but
he
began
his
career
in
district
six
in
south
boston.
A
As
a
patrol
officer,
he
went
on
to
become
sergeant
patrol
supervisor
in
district
2
and
a
sergeant
detective
at
district
4
in
the
south
end
in
internal
affairs.
Before
he
joined
the
command
staff
in
2014,
he
was
lieutenant
and
duty
supervisor
in
district
2
in
roxbury
district
3
in
manipan
district
13
and
jamaica
plain.
A
He
served
as
deputy
superintendent.
In
the
office
of
in
the
office
of
superintendent,
in
chief
in
the
bureau
of
field
services,
night
command,
he
was
promoted
then,
to
chief
of
staff
to
the
commission
across
to
the
rank
of
superintendent,
he's
also
a
member
of
the
boston
police
reform
task
force
where
he
helped
shape
the
community-led
recommendations
for
police
reform
this
summer.
A
A
The
constitution
and
laws
of
this
commonwealth,
the
constitution
and
laws
of
this
commonwealth,
the
ordinances,
the
ordinances
of

Congratulations,
commissioner,.
A
C
Words
good
morning,
everybody,
it's
pastor
gerald.
Thank
you
for
your
kind
words
and
your
friendship.
I
appreciate
it
to
mayor
walsh.
I
am
truly
humbled
and
honored
to
be
appointed
the
43rd
police.
Commissioner,
thank
you
for
entrusting
me
with
the
leadership
of
the
boston
police
department.
I
will
not
let
you
down.
C
Your
steadfast
commitment
to
the
boston
police
department
for
the
past
seven
years
has
resulted
in
a
safer
city
and
a
more
inclusive
police
department.
I
forever
appreciate
your
friendship.
I
wish
you
nothing,
but
the
best
man,
commissioner
gross
my
brother,
thank
you
for
your
continued
support
and
trust.
You
have
led
this
department
through
a
difficult
year.
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
Disrespect
was
not
an
option
if
any
parent
in
the
neighborhood
saw
us
misbehaving,
you
knew
it
was
only
a
matter
of
time
before
your
parents
knew
to
my
village
families.
Please
know
that
I
accept
this
honor
on
behalf
of
you,
my
sincere
love
and
appreciation
to
mr
charles
and
barbara
alkins
and
family,
mr
ed
and
claire
mcpherson
and
family.
C
The
boston
police
fund
had
been
tested
this
past
year.
The
covert
pandemic
has
strained
our
resources
with
our
officers
working
long
hours
in
difficult
situations.
Still
the
boston
police
department
has
answered
all
the
calls
to
service
without
hesitation
to
our
citizens,
to
all
our
first
responder
families
at
the
city,
state
and
federal
level.
Thank
you
for
your
dedication
and
partnership.
C
C
As
commissioner,
the
boston
police
department
will
continue
to
prioritize
community
engagement
to
build
trust
and
relationships
with
our
citizens
and
community.
We
will
get
through
this
together,
but
we
will
have
to
make
changes
in
doing
so.
I
am
proud
to
represent
the
department
on
the
mayor's
task
force
for
police
reform
to
mr
wayne
bud.
Thank
you
for
your
invaluable
insight
and
leadership
to
the
task
force.
As
chairman
to
my
fellow
task
force.
Members.
C
C
I
look
forward
to
working
closely
with
the
members
of
the
department
to
communities
and
all
our
partners
to
continue
to
make
the
boston
police
department
the
best
department
in
the
country
we
will
strive.
We
will
continue
to
strive
to
be
the
best
because
of
dedicated
men
and
women
who
wear
the
uniform,
along
with
our
talented
civilians,
who
support
their
mission
to
serve
our
communities
again.
I
am
truly
honored
to
be
bestowed
this
43rd
police
commission.
Thank
you
very.
A
A
Congratulations,
commissioner
white-
and
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
with
us
today-
is
commissioner
dempsey
from
the
boston
fire
department
who's
here
today
as
well,
and
I
want
to
thank
commissioner
dempsey
as
well
in
the
fire
department.
They
had
a
a
very
big
week
busy
weekend
right
now
in
boston,
as
a
lot
of
you
see
on
tv
with
fires
throughout
the
city
and
thank
god
for
the
most
part,
everyone
is
good.
I'm
going
to
now.
Let's
talk
explain
about
covet
a
little
bit
the
state
numbers.
A
As
of
yesterday,
there
were
2546
new,
confirmed
cases
of
covert
19
registered
in
the
state
of
massachusetts.
46
deaths
were
reported
in
the
city
of
boston.
As
of
the
friday
numbers
we
don't
have.
I
don't
have
the
saturday
and
sunday
numbers
at
this
moment.
We
will
but
230
new
confirmed
cases
as
of
friday,
bringing
our
total
of
hundred
52
four.
We
had
eight
deaths
reported
on
friday,
bringing
a
total
to
one
thousand
one
hundred
fifty
three.
As
I've
said
for
the
last
year,
my
heart
goes
out
to
everyone.
A
Who's
lost
a
loved
one
to
this
horrible
horrible
pandemic
and
to
everyone
battling
right
now
in
the
hospital
we
want
you
to
know.
You
were
thinking
of
you
and
you're
in
our
thoughts
and
prayers
data.
For
the
week
ending
january
24th,
an
average
of
4969
people
were
tested
each
day,
that's
down
eight
percent
from
the
previous
week.
So
that's
something
a
little
little
concerning
we
want
to
get
those
numbers
up.
That
does
not
include,
as
they
always
say,
college
testing.
A
The
average
numbers
of
positive
tests
each
day
was
375.
that's
down
compared
to
the
week
before
10
percent
decrease,
which
is
a
good
number
to
have.
We
want
to
continue
to
see
those
numbers
go
down.
Our
current
community
positivity
rate
was
6.8
percent,
that's
also
down
from
the
previous
week
of
7.2.
A
So
we've
had
several
weeks
now
in
a
row
here
of
declining
numbers
as
far
as
positivity
rates
for
cover
19.,
and
it's
it's
for
the
last
two
weeks,
it's
down
1.6
in
total,
so
that's
also
good
to
see
improvements
in
those
neighborhood
numbers
and
numbers
so
happy
to
see
that
throughout
the
pandemic.
Certainly,
we've
taken
a
very
cautious
approach
here
in
the
city
of
boston.
A
We
only
move
forward
with
reopening
if
public
health
experts
say
it's
safe.
In
recent
weeks,
we've
seen
some
improvements
in
our
covert
numbers.
That's
why
we're
moving
into
step
phase
three
step
one.
Today,
you
can
go
to
boston.gov
slash
reopening
to
find
a
list
of
businesses
that
are
allowed
to
open
reopen
today.
A
Also
last
week,
the
state
moved
from
high
risk
to
moderate
risk
in
their
map.
So
that's
certainly
also
encouraging
news
as
we
move
forward
here,
but
we
need
to
continue
to
stay
vigilant.
Our
numbers
could
change
at
any
time.
Every
single
person
has
a
role
to
play
in
keeping
these
covert
numbers
down.
Everyone
can
take
actions
on
a
daily
basis
to
protect
themselves
and
their
loved
ones
and
the
people
around
them.
A
A
A
If
everyone
continues
to
do
their
part,
we'll
be
able
to
keep
moving
with
a
reopening
and
do
it
faster,
we'll
be
able
to
be
loved
to
bring
safely
bring
people
and
activities
back
that
we
love
and
miss
in
our
city
and
help
our
businesses
recover.
So
I
can't
stress
enough
the
importance
of
staying
ahead
of
this
virus.
A
We
continue
to
work
with
the
state
on
cover
19
vaccine
rollouts,
we're
working
with
them
to
expand
vaccination
sites
to
make
sure
that
every
community
has
equitable
access
to
vaccines.
Today,
the
reggie
lewis
center
in
roxbury,
was
scheduled
to
open
as
a
vaccination
site
due
to
the
weather.
All
appointments
will
be
scheduled
for
the
same
times
next
monday
february,
8th.
So
anyone
an
appointment
today,
your
appointment
now
will
be
next
monday.
A
As
a
reminder,
the
city
is
helping
to
get
it
up
and
running.
The
clinic
will
be
vaccinating
about
a
thousand
appointments
per
week.
As
we
ramp
up
this
site,
it
will
become
a
mass
vaccination
site.
This
is
in
addition
to
the
fenway
site,
which
also
begins
its
vaccinations.
Today,
fenway
is
a
state
of
the
run
site
that
opens
today
with
adjustments
to
its
schedule
due
to
the
weather,
so
just
just
make
sure
if
it's
cancelled
you'll
get
contacted,
but
right
now
I
know
that
there
they
started
vaccines
this
morning.
A
We're
also
asking
people
with
scheduled
appointments
to
arrive
early.
If
you
can
try
and
get
them
in
there
and
once
the
system
once
it
gets
up
and
running
we're
going
to
try
and
get
people
in
and
out
as
quickly
as
possible.
Another
note
about
vaccine
rollout.
We
want
to
make
sure
people
are
aware,
as
this
program
gets
off
the
grounds
supplies
initially
are
limited.
I
know
people
are
concerned,
especially
those
who
are
eligible
for
the
next
round
of
vaccines,
that
includes
residents
75
years
old,
75
years
old
and
older
in
the
city.
A
The
road
out.
The
rollout
has
caused
frustration.
It's
been
a
confusing
and
inefficient
process,
especially
for
those
who
do
not
have
access
to
internet.
We
know
that
the
state
is
working
hard
to
remedy
these
issues,
we're
actually
assisting
the
state
to
be
able
to
to
figure
this
all
out,
and
so
we
can
get
a
better
smooth
process.
A
We
hope
and
expect
that
things
will
speed
up
and
more
slots
become
available.
If
you
think
about
vaccines,
it's
kind
of
like
testing
when
we
started
testing
it
was
a
very
difficult
rollout
in
the
very
beginning,
and
now
now
now
it's
cruising
along.
We
have
over
30
testing
sites
in
the
city
of
boston.
We
have
some
testing
sites,
you
can
go
in
in
same
day,
testing,
meaning
you
don't
have
to
register.
A
I
also
encourage
all
eligible
groups
that
to
keep
checking
the
state's
website
at
mass.gov,
covid,
vaccine
and
register
as
soon
as
you're
able
to
you,
can
also
call
boston
residents.
If
you,
if
you
don't,
have
internet
and
you
can't
get
on
or
you
don't
know
how
to
access
it
call
311
and
ask
for
the
city's
age,
strong
commission.
A
We
we're
here
to
assist
you
so
any
residents,
75
years
or
older,
we're
actually
65
or
older,
but
your
vaccines
aren't
ready
yet,
but
eventually,
if
we
can
get
anyone
75
and
older,
if
you
have
any
questions,
call
311
and
that
will
contact
you,
the
city
of
boston
and
ask
for
the
age,
strong,
commission
and
tell
them
you
want
to
talk
about
vaccines,
and
we
can.
We
can
take
it
from
there
with
you
as
soon
as
the
vaccines
become
available.
I
urge
everyone
to
get
one.
The
vaccine
is
safe.
A
It's
free
it's
one
of
the
west,
best
ways
to
protect
yourself
and
your
loved
ones.
Thousands
of
people
of
all
races,
ages
and
backgrounds
participate
in
vaccine
trials
to
prove
that
it's
safe
for
everyone.
The
science
makes
it
clear
it's
one
of
the
best
tools.
We
have
to
stop
the
spread
of
the
virus,
but
bringing
the
virus
to
to
an
end.
It's
going
to
take
all
the
tools
that
we
have
to
make
it
available.
A
That
includes,
following
all
of
the
covert
precautions,
getting
tested
regularly
getting
vaccinated,
winning
to
turn
continue
to
wear
masks
continue
to
physical
social
distance.
If
we
can,
when
you
can
and
continue
to
follow
the
guidelines,
I
want
to
thank
everyone.
Who's
continued
to
do
their
part
to
protect
our
city.
I
know
that
this
has
been
a
long,
long
long
way
to
go
and
we
have
a
little
bit
more
to
go,
but
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
With
that,
I'm
going
to
hit
I'm
going
to
ask
chief
mighty
martinez.
D
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
So
the
only
additional
piece
of
information
I
would
give
related
to
the
you
know
vaccination
process
in
the
city.
Is
we
continue
to
partner
with
the
state
to
not
only
make
sure
we
can
go
through
the
current
process,
ensuring
that
folks,
75
and
older
can
get
access
as
phase
two
of
the
plan
rolls
out,
but
we're
also
actively
working
to
prepare
for
the
additional
phases
that
are
to
come,
and
that
means
lifting
up
additional
priority
group
clinics
and
partnerships
with
hospitals
and
health
centers.
D
That
means
ensuring
that
there
are
community-based
clinics
over
the
next
several
weeks
to
make
it
more
accessible,
as
we
get
further
into
phase
two,
which
will
include
essential
workers.
First
65
and
older
and
folks
with
two
comorbidities,
then
essential
workers
like
our
k-12
educators
and
so
on,
as
we
move
through
the
rest
of
the
list.
D
So
for
the
city
following
the
state's
guidance
and
state's
leadership,
we'll
continue
to
do
that
and
making
sure
that
folks
can
get
access
when
necessary
along
the
way,
which
will
be
an
important
part
of
this
work
to
protect
everyone
against
coed.
So
with
that,
that'll
be
the
end
of
my
remarks
and
if
there's
any
covid
specific
questions,
I'm
glad
to
take
them
before
I
pass
it
back
to
the
mayor
to
talk
about
snow
preparation.
E
D
Yeah,
so
the
question
is
about
seniors
or
older
bostonians
over
75,
who
may
not
live
in
congregate
settings,
but
also
have
trouble
accessing
or
going
out
on
their
own
to
locations,
and
are
there
other
provisions
in
place
for
that
so
yeah?
So
currently,
right
now
what
the
city
is
trying
to
do
is
our
h.
D
Strong
commission
is
working
to
be
able
to
connect
folks
not
only
to
appointments
that
may
be
more
accessible
to
them
than
a
larger
site,
but
also
to
look
at
some
transportation
needs
we're,
exploring
the
ability
to
be
able
to
do
that.
I
think
it's
important,
although
we're
talking
about
folks
who
don't
live
in
those
settings,
thus
far
already
about
70
congregate.
D
Settings
of
seniors
have
been
part
of
the
federal
pharmacy
program,
which
means
vaccines
have
come
to
their
buildings
and
folks
have
been
able
to
get
vaccinated
that
way,
with
an
additional
building
still
to
come
over
the
next
several
weeks.
But
we
are
working
specifically
to
reach
out
to
community-based
organizations
that
work
with
older
bostonians
to
make
sure
those
of
which
you
are
not
going
to
be
able
to
go
wait
in
line
at
a
big
site
will
be
able
to
get
access
at
other
sites
and
we're
actively
currently
doing
that
right
now.
A
Thank
you
maddie,
as
everyone
has
heard,
and
certainly
all
over
the
news
today,
we're
expecting
a
snow
storm
to
hit
today,
through
tomorrow
afternoon,
the
latest
forecast
from
the
national
weather
service.
Unless
it's
changed
in
the
last
10
minutes,
a
winter
storm
warning
is
in
effect
until
5
00
a.m.
Tomorrow
morning
and
a
coastal
flood
advisory
is
in
effect
from
11
pm
tonight
until
4
pm
tomorrow
afternoon,
boston
could
get
between
12
to
18.
Inches
of
snow
wind
gusts
could
be
as
high
as
45
to
50
miles
per
hour.
A
Temperatures
are
going
to
be
on
the
milder
side
with
heavy
and
wet
snow,
which
makes
traveling
very
difficult.
I
want
to
thank
our
public
works
crews,
who
have
been
out
working
hard
to
pre-treat
and
clean
our
roads
and
they're
out
there
right
now,
pre-treating
all
the
roads
in
the
city
of
boston.
We
have
42
000
tons
of
salt
on
hand,
and
we
have
the
ability
to
put
over
700
pieces
of
equipment
on
the
streets.
A
I
encourage
everyone
to
stay
off
the
roads
if
at
all
possible
from
pretty
much
right
now
till
tomorrow,
the
snow
emergency
will
go
into
effect
at
12
o'clock
noon
in
the
city
of
boston.
Today,
a
parking
ban
will
be,
in
effect
for
main
roads
that
have
restrictions
during
snow
emergencies,
also
starting
at
12
o'clock.
Today,
parking
is
also
banned
in
bought
in
boston,
public
school
lots.
We
want
to
be
able
to
get
in
there
and
and
clean
it
out
so
that
they
can
be
ready
for
school.
There
is
no.
A
A
A
All
boston,

school
buildings
will
be
closed

All
bps

who

both

tomorrow
they
will
have
a
partial

which
will
end
at
two
and
a
half
hours
earlier
than
the
regular
dismissal
day.
There
will
be
no
in-person
learning,
monday
or
tuesday
in
our
boston
public
schools.
A
We're
disappointed
that
the
weather
is
not
cooperating
with
our
plans.
We're
planning
today
to
return
more
than
4
000
students

but
we're
grateful
to
our
teachers,
custodians
food
service

bus
drivers
and
our
school
leaders
who
have
been
working
around
the
clock
to
prepare
for
the
return
of
our
kids.
Today,

learning
will
restart
on
thursday
february
4th
