TWO UNIFORMS. ONE COMMITMENT
The City of Brockton honored our nation's veterans today with a parade downtown and ceremony at City Hall.
Here at the Brockton PD we're very proud of the men and women who have served in the military and who continue to serve our community.
This Veterans Day we'd like you to meet two of them.
Officer David Luu was in the National Guard. Officer Rafael Miranda was in the Coast Guard.
We sat both officers down and had a chat with them about their military experiences, what had led them to policing and what Veterans Day meant to them.
We're proud to share their stories as we recognize all veterans of the Brockton Police Department and around the world.
To all our veterans, thank you for your service. Happy Veterans Day!

BROCKTON POLICE DISRUPT STREET TAKEOVERS, SEIZE TWO FIREARMS
More than 300 vehicles came into the City of Brockton over Halloween weekend for illegal car meet-ups and street takeovers. Brockton Police officers and detectives moved quickly to disrupt several gatherings and take two loaded firearms off the streets.
The firearms were recovered early Saturday morning during a traffic stop near a Torrey Street shopping plaza, where more than 150 vehicles had gathered. Officers and detectives, including members of the department's Strategic Crime Reduction Unit (SCRU), were conducting proactive enforcement targeting these gatherings. Two individuals from Dighton and Mansfield were arrested on gun charges.
Brockton Police continued their enforcement efforts Saturday night, moving quickly to disrupt additional car meet-ups before they could grow larger. Throughout the weekend, officers conducted dozens of traffic stops, issued numerous citations, towed several vehicles, and made multiple arrests connected to the gatherings.
Thank you to the Brockton Police officers and detectives who worked throughout Halloween weekend to keep our neighborhoods and streets safe. Our efforts to address illegal street takeovers, dangerous driving, and gun violence will continue.
