A
A
A
B
Well,
let
me
just
let
me
just
say
a
couple
things
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
coming
out
what
a
great
crowd
we
have
here
tonight.
I
want
to
take
you
all
for
being
out
celebrating
National
Night
Out
we've
been
going
all
over
the
city
of
Boston
we've
made
we've
made
I
think
this
is
our
12th
stop.
We
were
going
around
celebrating
the
community
and
the
great
work,
the
communities
that
the
community
has
done
with
with
crime
watch
and
with
civic
associations
and
we've
been
thanking
in
the
neighborhood,
have
also
been
celebrating
the
police
department.
B
B
We
also
have
our
state
senator
senator
Nick
Collins
and
another
person
who's
on
the
City
Council,
who
also
grew
up
same
neighborhood
as
me
and
Frank
city
councillor
and
East.
Rossabi,
George
and
I
know
that
City
Council,
Michael
Flaherty
is
making
his
way
down
so
I'll
see
Michael
Flaherty,
citywide,
city,
council
and
I
want
to
recognize
gentlemen.
Who's
been
with
us
for
12
25
years
doing
this
National
Night
Out
and
his
public
service
is
coming
to
an
end.
B
For
a
minute,
I
thought
they
were
protesting
me
I
got
worried,
but
let
me
let
me
offer
just
a
couple
of
shoutouts
I
want
to
thank
this.
There's
some
there's
some
clergy
here
that
walked
the
streets
with
us
in
bold
in
Geneva
and
other
places.
I
want
to
start
with
father
Conway
father
call
me
thank
you.
B
And
we
have
a
guy
who
is
the
pastor
of
my
church
for
a
long
time
and
then
then
I
moved
and
now
he's
moving
the
pastor
of
st.
Greg's,
father,
Jack,
Ahern
I,
don't
know
if
that's
public
and
I
just
blew
it,
but
sorry
if
it
is
well,
the
Cardinal
is
no
choice
now
so
give
me
one
second
I
had
notes,
but
I'm
gonna
pass.
The
notes
up
today
is
today.
Chief
Huli
from
EMS
is
here
as
well:
Thank
You,
chief
I.
B
B
And
when
Commissioner
Evans
made
his
announcement
that
he
was
leaving,
we
didn't
have
to
look
too
far.
We
have
had
a
person
in
the
police
department
who
started
as
a
cadet
who
was
assigned
to
area
C
11.
He
served
as
the
leadership
role
in
C
11.
He
was
part
of
community
policing
in
this
district.
He
was
part
of
sitting
on
in
people's
front
rooms
and
living
rooms
and
talking
about
what's
going
on
their
neighborhoods.
He
knows
these
streets
in
this
district.
B
More
than
probably
any
other
place
that
he
knows
in
the
city
of
Boston,
he
rose
to
be
a
knight
commander
in
the
city
of
Boston.
He
was
named
chief
five
years
ago.
He
served
with
distinction
as
the
chief
of
the
police
department,
and
yesterday
he
was
sworn
in
as
the
42nd
Commissioner
of
the
Boston
Police
Department.
Let
me
introduce
you
from
c11
Commissioner
Willie
Graz.
B
C
C
Wow
Wow,
it
is
great
to
be
back
home.
This
was
my
permanent
station
in
area
in
1985,
after
I
did
a
quick
stint
downtown
and
Chinatown
and
Charlestown
in
East
Boston,
but
I
have
my
permanent
station
here
in
1985
back
home
about
two
miles
up.
That
way
is
where
I
grew
up
on
Edgemont
Street
I
played
football
right
here,
softball
here.
What
a
great
community
Dorchester
has
over
64
different
cultures.
What
about
that?
C
Maybe
we
should
shout
that
to
somebody
in
DC.
We
don't
have
any
walls
nearing
towards
that
stack,
who
I
can't
tell
you
how
great
it
is
to
be
selected
as
the
42nd
police
commissioner,
because
I
was
raised
by
the
community.
My
success
is
because
seniors
paved
the
way
so
I
could
be
here
in
this
capacity.
C
Imagine
what
you
went
through
all
those
decades,
all
that
hard
work,
never
never
giving
up
seniors
of
all
colors
for
peace,
justice
and
equality,
and
look
at
your
representation
here
as
well:
the
elected
official,
the
clergy,
everyone
and
what
we
all
do
this
for
this
hard
fighting
for
justice
and
equality,
the
youth
and
for
our
future.
Let's
give
them
a
hand.
Thank
you
seniors,
so
National
Night
Out.
C
It's
just
recognition
for
the
hard
work
that
you
do
day
in
and
day
out.
Dorchester
takes
care
of
everyone,
but
we
have
to
make
it
our
charge
to
ensure
that
every
family,
safe
every
family
has
the
same
opportunity
so
that
the
children
and
those
families
don't
go
outside
and
commit
senseless
acts
of
violence
that
affect
us
all
and
they're
not
susceptible
to
the
Predators
drug
dealers.
Human
traffickers
there's
people
that
just
use
them
to
do
bad
things
and
I
know
the
Boston
Police
Department,
along
with
everyone.
C
You
see
on
that
this
stage
is
committed
to
helping
each
and
every
family
and
hey
I'm
gonna.
Put
on
my
recruiting
hat
everybody's
welcome
to
be
a
member
of
our
first
responder
family,
especially
BPD,
whether
it's
Warren
or
civilian
and
I
got
a
special
shout
out
to
my
Vietnamese
brother,
Howie
I,
don't
know
where
he
is
but
and
I'm
gonna
say:
Taiwan
choco,
chow,
chow
ba
might
enjoy
all
right.
C
So
what
that
means
how's
everybody
doing
how
you
doing
hi
how
you
doing
what's
like.
So
you
know
why
I
said
that
I
want
everybody
to
learn
about
each
other's
ethnicity.
This
is
what
we're
doing
in
PPD.
We
want
to
reflect
every
community
in
the
city
and
the
men
and
women
here,
my
command
staff
and
the
men
and
women
of
BPD
we're
committed
to
doing
that.
I
wish
we
could
all
have
a
universal
translator,
but
we
can
do
that
by
hiring
men
and
women
that
reflect
our
community.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
C
C
Of
the
hard
work
is
not
done
alone.
Of
course
we
have
you
in
the
community.
We
have
the
elected
officials,
but
we
have
people
that
are
in
charge
of
justice.
All
right.
Can
you
come
up,
sir
District
Attorney
Dan
Conley
for
decades
fighting
for
us,
but
in
partnership
with
the
Boston
Police
and
the
first
responders.
As
you
see,
it
is
not
about
putting
handcuffs
on
every
situation.
Of
course,
some
people
can't
be
rehabilitated
on
this
side,
so
we
work
on
the
other
side.
C
So
with
that
being
said,
the
amount
of
internships
this
man
is
handed
handed
out:
basketball,
four-piece
soccer,
four-piece,
youth,
police
dialogues.
That's
what
I'm
talking
about
folks
finding
solutions
other
than
putting
on
cops.
We
do
that
only
when
we
have
to
but
we're
gonna
miss
him
he's
going
to
be
leaving
us
soon,
but
he's
leaving
behind
the
legacy
that
will
follow
in
his
footsteps.
To
make
sure
we
have
justice
for
everybody.
C
D
D
So
good
luck
and
all
the
best
to
you
as
the
mayor,
the
police
commissioner,
said
for
25
years,
I've
been
serving
in
public
office
8
years
as
a
city
council
and
now
on
my
17th
summer
as
District
Attorney
I've
tended
a
lot
of
these
events,
and
this
is
the
last
one.
This
is
it
my
last
chance
and
I
will
I
want
to
say.
Thank
you
to
Dorchester.
D
You
know
the
Commissioner
said
this
before
many
times
down
in
the
last
couple
days
as
well.
There's
work
to
be
done,
but
you
think
about
where
we've
come,
how
far
we've
come
in
25
years,
what
a
much
better
City
this
is
today
than
it
was
25
years
ago,
and
that's
that's
not
just
a
testament
to
the
Boston
Police
or
the
Suffolk
County
DA's
office.
Really
it's
a
testament
to
all
the
community
organizations,
the
great
ones
I
think
of
adsl
and
these
beautiful
children
right
here.
Don't
they
do
a
wonderful
job.
I
mean
sports.
D
What
a
great
way
to
keep
kids
out
these
kids
are
precious
by
the
way
I
got
a
chance
to
chat
with
them
for
a
couple
of
minutes
and
you
older
and
bolder
crew,
as
the
commissioner
says,
seniors
big
shout-out
to
the
season.
Thank
you
for
what
you're
doing
Paulo
and
the
folks
from
st.
Peter's
Teen
Center,
the
clergy,
my
dear
friend,
Emmet
Folger,
let's
hear
it
for
Emmet,
but
all
he
has
done
made
our
jobs
a
whole
lot
easier.
D
So
it's
been
an
honor
and
a
privilege
of
a
lifetime
to
serve
as
your
district
attorney
and
I
can't.
Thank
you
enough,
and
just
let
me
finish
with
this.
If
we're
gonna
go
to
even
greater
heights,
we
need
a
fabulous
leader
and
we
are
so
lucky
that
we
have
Martin
J
Walsh
as
our
mayors
that
true
in
four
and
a
half
short
years,
he
has
taken
this
city
almost
to
a
transforming
level.
You
think
about
it.
D
When
I
started
25
years
ago,
there
were
less
than
500,000
people
that
wanted
to
live
here
and
they
were
running
away
today,
we're
almost
at
700,000,
and
everybody
wants
to
be
here
and
that's
because
we
have
the
best
mayor
in
the
country,
Martin
Walsh.
You
know
that
in
Dorchester
and
as
he's
been
a
great
friend
to
me,
a
great
supporter
and
I
can't
thank
him
enough
for
all
the
years
of
friendship
and
support.
So
with
that,
let
me
introduce
to
you
another
great
friend
of
mine.
We
have
very
very
close
friends.
D
E
E
E
Listen
I'm
not
going
to
take
a
lot
of
time,
because
I
would
just
echo
everything.
That's
been
said
here,
but
here's
the
deal.
If
you
look
around,
you
see
every
stripe,
every
color,
every
age,
every
ethnicity
that
makes
a
vibrant
community
strong
and
what
it
is
is
right
here
in
Dorchester
and
Dorchester.
So
huge
is
probably
like
the
seventh
or
eighth
largest
city
in
the
country,
and
you
folks
are
magnificent.
It's
been
our
honor
to
serve
you
with
the
exception
of
Danny
who's,
going
on
to
a
probably
greater
heights
and
greater
glory.
E
C
All
right
folks,
a
couple
more
thank
yous,
look
throughout
the
crowd
or
you'll,
see
EMS
and
you'll,
see
posten
police
command
staff
and
boston,
police
officers
from
area
c,
11,
Captain,
Steve,
MacLaughlin,
sergeant
Dunn
for
the
community
service
officer
and
then
I
also
like
to
say
there
are
private
businesses
that
help
us
out.
Okay
on
stage
in
red
is
their
target
corporation
of
South
Bay
every
Christmas
they
take
care
of
us
back
to
school.
C
G
Very
few
words,
because
it's
getting
late,
the
kids
got
to
go
home
and
I
want
to
hear
more
of
drumming
from
the
bolder
and
older
people.
That's
what
I
want
to
hear.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
all
coming
out
tonight
for
trying
to
make
Dorchester
a
safer
place
to
live
and
a
better
place
to
live.
You
deserve
the
credit
we
just
get
the
microphone.
Thank
you
all
for
being
here.
Thank
you
for
standing
strong
for
your
own
community
and.
B
H
In
my
job
I'm
in
my
job,
I
meet
a
lot
of
people
who
are
doing
good
things
for
Dorchester
and
a
lot
of
them
don't
get
recognized.
So
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
able
to
do
so
tonight.
The
Dorchester
running
club
is
an
organization
largely
made
up
of
local
women
who
have
transformed
the
group
into
a
crime
watch
and
personal
safety
contingent
while
running
in
around
Dorchester.
They
function
as
the
eyes
and
ears
and
work
closely
with
the
c11
CSO
team
to
communicate
crime
and
public
safety
concerns.
H
The
Dorchester
running
Club
hosted
a
road
race,
fundraiser
kids
from
a
public
housing
project
development
were
transported
to
the
event
and
ran
for
free
proceeds
from
the
event,
which
is
a
c11
Christmas
toy
drive
for
needy
children.
They
also
hosted
a
summer
boot
camp
for
kids
aged
10
to
15,
so
the
kids
in
neighborhood
would
have
a
place
to
go
for
the
dedication
and
commitment
to
the
community.
We
would
like
to
honor
the
Dorchester
running
club
with
the
2018
crime
watch
group
of
the
Arrowwood.
H
I
H
H
Susan
Young
has
been
a
valued
partner
of
the
Boston
Police
Department
in
the
community
for
several
years,
she's
the
facilitator
of
weekly
meetings
between
police,
clergy
and
community
stakeholders
at
the
loj
baker
house.
Susan,
is
a
member
of
the
trauma
team.
She
meets
with
victims
of
violent
crime,
their
families
and
other
affected
by
it
and
connects
them
with
resources.
Her
role,
it's
time,
consuming
and
requires
great
emotional
strength,
Susan's
gone
above
and
beyond
in
many
ways
to
assist
people
in
the
community.
H
In
one
situation
she
recognized
a
woman
in
crisis
in
the
potential
for
tragedy
and
she
worked
with
the
police
to
locate
her
and
prevented
a
sexual
assault.
In
another
situation,
she
identified
an
individual
suffering
from
chronic
alcoholism.
He
had
been
in
the
neighborhood
in
business
nuisance
for
years,
but
Susan
reached
out
to
him
an
assistant
in
getting
him
the
substance
abuse
treatment
that
he
needed
for
her
tireless
efforts
and
dedication
to
the
community.
We
would
like
to
honor
Susan
as
a
2018
crime
fighter
of
the.
