As the sun rises over the city, Christmas morning begins in Brockton.
Today is a reminder to slow down, take stock, and appreciate the people around us. Family, friends, neighbors, and community.
To everyone celebrating at home, enjoy the day. And to those working today, police, fire, EMS, healthcare, and beyond, thank you for showing up when it counts.
Wishing the City of Brockton a safe, joyful, and meaningful Christmas.

Brockton Police officers once again stepped up for No Shave November, raising thousands of dollars and donating every dollar just in time for the holidays.
We were proud to host representatives at headquarters and present checks to each organization benefiting The Charity Guild, The Officer Brian McSharry Scholarship, Immanuel Baptist Church, and Massachusetts Special Olympics.
Thank you to everyone at the Brockton Police Department who participated for a great cause—proof that a little facial hair can make a big impact.

#shopwithacop
Friday night, the Brockton Walmart felt just like a scene from a Christmas movie. It was filled with heart, joy, and a true sense of community.
For the first time ever in our city, the Brockton Police Department and Massachusetts State Police teamed up with Walmart to host Shop with a Cop. More than eighty Brockton kids each received a $100 holiday shopping spree. In addition, every child was gifted a brand-new coat and a swag bag filled with a hat, gloves, scarf, blanket, and umbrella. Many of these children might not have had much under the tree this year, but they left with bags full of gifts—and smiles that said it all.
Officers pushed carts as kids picked out gifts, their eyes wide with excitement. Officers and troopers knelt down to help choose presents for kids, and in some cases, their siblings, and reached high shelves so children could get the toys they had been dreaming of. Laughter and high-fives filled every aisle, along with a few hugs.
This is what “protect and serve” means when it moves from the street into the aisles—and into the lives of our children.
This night happened because of the incredible partners who made it possible.
A massive thank-you to:
Walmart
Massachusetts State Police
The Office of Mayor Robert F. Sullivan
Health Imperatives
Shannon Community Safety Initiative
Suffolk Construction
Urban Air Trampoline and Adventure Park
Police Activities League of Massachusetts
To every officer, trooper, family member, and volunteer who gave up a Friday night—you turned the world’s largest retailer into real holiday magic.
This is community.
This is what Brockton does.
This is our city at its very best.
