| With Boston Police Commissioner William Evans |
On March 24, 2016 I attended WBZ’s Business Breakfast,
where the topic was Safety at Work –
Maintaining a Safe and Secure Workplace.
At the venue I met Boston Police Commissioner William Evans.
We spoke briefly about the healthcare violence and House Bill #1164 that has
been sent to study. The other speakers were former Police Commissioner Ed
Davis, Lexington School Superintendent Dr. Mary Czajkowski, FBI Special Agent Harold
Shaw, all of whom were interviewed by WBZ News anchor Joe Mathieu.
The presenters covered topics such as what to do if in the
event of an “active shooter situation;” the use of cameras and video in such
situations; and how technology, social media, email and texting has positively
assisted their efforts. They described the importance of working with the
community by outreach; the training and practice of quick thinking; and reflecting
on decisions made and actions taken.
Discussions included what the presenters and their peers
need to expect from us and what do we expect from them; building partnerships; and
learning about communities while letting the communities learn about them.
While it would be impossible to capture the entire session
in one blog post, I came away highly impressed with the whole program.
It was such a privilege to speak to the Police Commissioner,
and listen to the other speakers. The work they and others have done and
continue to do is outstanding.
To Commissioner Evans, former Commissioner Davis,
Superintendent Czajkowski, and Agent Shaw, I extend my sincerest appreciation
and gratitude for your work and dedication.
