In December, Interim Chief Mel Batten-Mickens and Deputy Chief Vito Scotti attended a Boston Police Foundation event for local businesses and nonprofits.

At the gathering, they met Boston Police Commissioner William B. Evans, Superintendent Lisa R. Holmes, and several BPD officials who provided an overview of community policing efforts, including expansion of the bike patrol and K-9 program.

The event presented a fantastic opportunity to share information about the Simmons College Police Department as they continue to build relationships and develop community outreach opportunities.
