Keeping the family and friends of Sgt. Ian Taylor and his
@BillericaPD
family in our thoughts tonight after he was killed while working at a road construction site. A tremendous loss for those who loved him and his entire community.
The death of Mikayla Miller is a tragedy and an unimaginable loss for her family and the entire community. We know that everyone mourning her is seeking answers. Our investigation into the events of April 17-18, 2021, remains open. Full statement below:
Congratulations and thank you to nineteen-year-old lifeguard Allison Mammola, who saved the life of a five-year-old boy who was drowning last week. I commend her for her bravery and quick thinking during this terrifying incident.
We are heartbroken at the sudden passing of our friend Kevin Curtin. He was a mentor, leader & talented lawyer. His kindness & genuine concern for others added immeasurable value to our work & were a gift to all who knew him. Our thoughts are w/ his family as they mourn this loss
The officers involved in today’s situation brought what could have been a dangerous situation to a safe place. I commend our law enforcement partners for their work to collaborate & deescalate. TY to the public for your cooperation this morning & as we continue to investigate.
More than half a century ago, Natalie Scheublin, a wife and mother, was violently murdered in her own home. Today, after more than 50yrs, we are able to announce an arrest in this case.

Today I was at the State House advocating for the passage of the “Move Over Bill”. Traffic related incidents are the leading cause of death among on-duty law enforcement officers, and the second leading cause for firefighters. These crashes are preventable. (1/2)

What happened to George Floyd was murder. Today’s verdict reflects that; but it’s not a substitute for change. We must not forget his name, or that his death was avoidable. Our thoughts are w/ his loved ones today. The impact of this loss is not over. There’s work left to be done
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a leader, an inspiration and a trailblazer for women. She leaves behind a legacy that inspired those in the field of law and far beyond. She will be profoundly missed.
