The Brockton Police Department Seeking RFPs For The 2025 Shannon Community Safety Initiative Grant Program:
The 2025 Brockton Shannon Project, funded by the Massachusetts Senator Charles E. Shannon, Jr. Community Safety Initiative offered by the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security, is accepting proposals for programs that will help youth between the ages of 10 and 24 who are at risk for gang involvement. These proposals will be reviewed by the BPD Grants Committee.
The Shannon Community Safety Initiative (CSI) is a multi‐pronged approach to addressing a community’s gang and youth violence problem through coordinated prevention and intervention, law enforcement, prosecution, and reintegration programs using five strategy areas:
· Social Intervention
· Suppression
· Opportunity Provision
· Organizational Change
· Community Mobilization
Only 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organizations are eligible for Brockton Shannon Project funding, and the grants committee would especially love to see grassroots organizations apply. Any project that fits at least one of the gang and youth violence prevention strategies listed above is welcome, but the grants committee is especially interested in small programs with an educational slant and those that address substance use, either of the youth themselves or that of their parents/guardians. All proposed programming should be inclusive and trauma‐informed and should provide direct, concrete services to youth.
The deadline is August 15, 2024. Please use the following link for instructions on how to submit proposals.

BROCKTON POLICE TAKE STOLEN GUN AND FENTANYL OFF THE STREETS
Brockton Police Detectives arrested a drug dealer and seized the deadly synthetic drug Fentanyl, a handgun reported stolen from Dighton, and other drugs during a search warrant executed at 433 West Elm Street.
With the assistance of the patrol division and State Police, this police action brought an end to the Fentanyl distribution ring that the suspect, Scott Pierce, was allegedly running.
The 60-year-old Pierce faces several drug and weapons charges.
Thank you, BPD, for #KeepingBrocktonSafe!

Brockton Police Patrolmen's Association Massachusetts State Police
Please join us in congratulating the first group of Brockton Police Junior Cadet Graduates for this summer. Eighteen teenagers from the City of Champions completed a weeklong introduction to policing. Proud parents gathered at the Municipal Police Training Academy in Randolph to witness the ceremony. The teens learned about radar and traffic enforcement, criminal law, first aid/CPR, bike safety, leadership skills, and other police tactics and training courses. The students excelled in all facets of law enforcement, including physical fitness. Thanks to the Shannon Grant, BPD presented each graduate with a Chromebook and backpack as a parting gift.
We also want to thank Brockton Public Schools, Massachusetts State Police, the police academy in Randolph, and all BPD Officers and Cadets for their invaluable support and contribution to the success of our Junior Police Cadet Program.
The second class will begin in August.
