Council
pushes to raise age cap for new
cops
The Boston City Council on Wednesday passed a home rule
petition that would increase the maximum age for becoming a
Boston police officer from the current cap of 32 years of
age to 40. The petition will need the mayor's signature
before being forwarded to the state legislature.
Police
to Angels: Please patrol Ronan
Park

the summer months at the request of the Boston Police
Department.
Creating
'connections' at Edward Everett
Square
Edward Everett Square is creeping into the final stages of a
