MONDAY MORNING IS HERE. PLAN ACCORDINGLY.
Someone will miss the bus. Someone will forget a lunchbox or bag. When it comes to morning chaos, Monday remains undefeated.
Give yourself five extra minutes. Slow down, stop for school buses with red lights flashing, watch the crosswalks, and put the phone down.
Let’s get Brockton’s students to school safely this morning.

NATIONAL POLICE WOMAN DAY |
Officer Janessa Soares didn't take the expected path to the Brockton Police Department.
Today is National Police Woman Day, a day to recognize the women who wear the badge, including the women right here at the Brockton Police Department.
They patrol our streets, serve our community, and lead within our department. And for women considering a career in law enforcement, their stories can show what's possible.
Janessa has one of those stories.
Meet Officer Janessa Soares.
And if her story has you thinking about a career with Brockton Police, learn more here:

WE REMEMBER. WE HONOR.
Twenty-five years later, we still remember where we were, what we lost and those who answered the call.
This morning, Brockton Police joined our Fire Department, city leaders and members of our community at City Hall Plaza to honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001 and the first responders who ran toward danger.
For Brockton, that remembrance is personal. At the ceremony we were reminded of City of Brockton native Stephen Adams,. Adams was working at Windows on the World on the 107th floor of the World Trade Center’s North Tower when he was killed in the attacks.
Today, our Police and Fire Honor Guards stood together in tribute.
We remember the lives. We honor the sacrifice. We will never forget.
