Well,
let
me
just
say
sorry
we're
late,
but
we
saved
the
best
for
last
how's
that
thank
you.
Thank
you.
We
had
an
incredible
night
tonight.
We've
been
all
over
the
city
of
Boston.
We've
been
thanking
the
community
for
all
the
great
work
they've
done
in
the
last
year,
working
together
to
make
sure
we
reduce
the
violence
in
the
neighborhoods
and
recognize
the
different
organizations
for
the
great
work
they
do.
So
thank
you
to
everyone
here,
whether
you're
part
of
a
Civic
Association,
a
crime
watch
and
neighbor
whatever
it
is.
You
do.

City

Liz
Mallya
I'd,
like
to
thank
District
Attorney
Dan
Conley
for
his
25
years
of
never
missing
a
first
night
I
mean
the
first
night
a
national
night
out
and
he's
a
district
attorney.
It's
his
last
one.
So
I'll
buy
a
nice
round
of
applause
at
the
end,
Carly.
B
B
Now.
Let
me
just
today
today
is
a
special
day
for
the
city
of
Boston
and
it's
a
special
night
for
National
Night
Out.
We
have
today.
We
started
our
morning
at
the
Morningside
Baptist
Church,
where
we,
where
I
get
an
opportunity
of
a
lifetime
to
swear
in
the
forty-second
Police
Commission
the
history
of
the
Boston
Police
Department,
and
he
is
a
friend
he
started
as
a
young
kid
young
person
in
Baltimore.
He
came
to
Boston.
He
became
a
cadet
on
the
Boston
Police
Department.
He
became
a
police
officer.
B
He
went
into
the
leadership
of
the
police
department,
he
was
the
Knight
Commander
for
many
years.
He
served
as
a
chief
for
the
last
five
years
and
today
he
earned
every
single
step
along
the
way
and
he
became
the
Commissioner
of
Boston.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
the
42nd
Police
Commissioner
in
the
city
of
Boston
Commissioner
really
was.
C
I'll
write
my
people:
how
are
you
let's
hear
it
from
their
walk?
I
wouldn't
be
here
in
this
capacity.
If
it
wasn't
for
him
how's
everybody
doing
tonight,
the
mayor
was
right.
The
best
for
last,
hey
I,
am
just
loving
this
day
it
was.
It
was
pretty
cool
to
have
my
mother
with
me.
You
know
and
give
her
the
honors
of
bringing
me
up,
and
it
was
also
pretty
cool
to
have
the
rest
of
my
family
there,
the
community,
to
help
raise
me
so
look
at
the
young
ones
right
here.
C
These
are
your
next
police
commissioners
and
mayor's
and
das
and
sheriffs
and
elected
officials.
If
I
can
do
it,
so
can
you,
but
it's
only
with
the
help
of
the
community.
So
that's
what
we're
bringing
under
my
administration,
because
what
I'm
bringing
is
that
it's
our
administration,
we're
going
to
work
together
the
strength
of
the
community
policing
model
and
make
sure
that
all
kids,
no
matter
wherever
they
are
in
this
city,
are
welcome
to
become
whatever
they
want
to
be
all
right.
C
Now,
let's
talk
about
National
Night
Out
right
we're
here
to
celebrate
those
who
work
collaboratively
together.
To
look
out
for
their
neighborhoods
right,
but
one
thing
about
right
here,
all
of
you
before
us:
you
do
it
each
and
every
day
right
we
loving
that
it's
National
Night
Out,
but
you
substitute
the
efforts
that
you
take
each
and
every
day
to
take
care
of
each
other,
and
we
applaud
you
and
let's
hear
it
for
captain
Terry
Thomas.
C
Ptoo
community
service
office
I
know
he's
on
vacation,
but
we
still
love
him
hey
and
one
more
thing
when
we
say
community
policing.
That
means
you,
it
just
doesn't
mean
the
police.
Everyone
you
see
on
this
stage
here:
institutions
of
higher
learning,
the
EMS,
the
teachers,
the
lawyers,
everybody
helps
make
community
policing
what
it
is,
because
it's
about
the
village
all
right.
So,
let's
give
yourselves
a
hand
all
right.
Thank
you.
There's
the
president
of
jiggle,
the
Latino
law
enforcement
officers,
president
Marrero,
how
are
you
Linda.
C
A
How
many
y'all
know
your
history?
Here's
why
it's
important!
You
know
your
history,
you
don't
make
the
same
mistakes!
Those
before
you
did.
How
fitting
is
it
that
a
student
of
history
is
now
making
history?
And
you
folks
are
here
to
witness
that
let
that
sink
in
for
a
minute,
a
student
of
history
is
making
history
in
the
city
of
Boston.

tirelessly
with
the
b-two
community
service
office
to
address
crime,
drug
dealing,
gang
relation
problems
and
quality
of
life
issues.
Many
people
thought
the
problem
was
too
big
or
somebody
else's
responsibility
to
address.
However,
dr.
Montague
and
his
group
have
consistently
met
with
the
police
and
good
times
and
in
bad
to
address
the
crime
head-on.
Dr.
A
Montague
and
his
group
have
also
worked
in
conjunction
with
the
drug
control
unit
on
numerous
cases
which
resulted
in
warrants
being
served.
Contraband
and
gun
seized
and
suspects
arrested
management
has
also
quickly
followed
up
with
evictions
and
problem.
Tenants

removed
from
the

dr.,
Montague
and
his
group
have
continuously
worked
in
the
partnership
with
the
police
always
claimed
the
ownership
of
the
problems
and
have
reduced
the
amount
of
crimes
significantly
over
the
past
six
years
to
make

of
the
safest
places
to
live
and
be.

Hello,

been
a
wonderful
evening

great
evening

about
all
of
us.
So

I
look
over
here
and
I,
see
everyone

I
love,
B
to
get
B
to
a
round

applause.
Mayor
Walsh
is
the
most
outstanding
mayor
in
the
country,
give
around
the
pause
and
he
made
a
tremendous
choice
and
picking
the
commissioner
can
I
hear
it.
D
When
was
Commissioner
first
african-american
Commissioner
in
the
city
of
Boston,
it's
outstanding,
but
when
I
think
of
us
and
we
I,
think
of
class
and
dignity
and
everything
that
we
do,
we
do
it
first
class
and
I
want
to
leave
you
with
this
and
I.
Want
you
to
think
about
it
for
a
second,
because
we're
all
in
this
together
we
have
to
protect
our
kids,
our
seniors,
everyone
b2
does
a
great
job
at
that,
but
I
want
you
to
remember.
Your
destiny
is
not
written
for
you.
Your
destiny
is
written
by
you.
