With family, friends, colleagues, and city councilors looking on, Detective Matt Murphy accepted his Sergeant Stripes after the city clerk provided the oath of office. We want to thank this former Marine and Curry College Graduate for his nearly 20 years of service to the country and the residents of Brockton.

Detective Murphy always gives his all to solve any case, regardless of its magnitude.

Besides being a member of our Special Reaction Team, he teaches CPR and First Aid, and has even won a life-saving award twice! For that, we are thankful. Congratulations, Sergeant Murphy, on receiving your well-deserved promotion.

We're giving a huge shout-out to all the recent graduates who dedicated the past eight weeks to learning about law enforcement and building stronger community connections in the City of Champions. Your commitment to understanding and supporting public safety is truly inspiring!

Special recognition goes to Sergeant Nichole Anderson, who absolutely knocked it out of the park in leading the program. Her energy and dedication kept every session engaging and meaningful.

A heartfelt thank-you as well to all the Brockton Police Officers who generously shared their time and expertise—you made a lasting impact.

The Brockton Rox also congratulated the Citizens Police Academy Graduates, providing each individual with two tickets to an upcoming game of their choice.

And how sweet was the surprise dessert tray from the 2025 class? A thoughtful gesture that shows just how much this experience meant to them!

After the ceremony, graduate and Brockton NAACP President Phyllis Ellis put it best: "Thank you for offering this vital program that builds bridges in our community."
