Medford - The Massachusetts Municipal Police Coalition (MMPC) is pleased to announce its formation as a dynamic network of eastern Massachusetts police unions. The MMPC is formed and exists to facilitate the sharing of information, ideas, and resources among its member unions. The goal of the MMPC is to identify and work to achieve the important interests of municipal police officers and to provide aid and assistance to member unions in the pursuit of their common goals in collective bargaining and in other forums. MMPC member unions represent over 800 municipal police officers in the following communities: Andover, Arlington, Belmont, Cambridge, Framingham, Lawrence, Lexington, Marlborough, Medford, Natick, Newton, Somerville and Wayland. At its first meeting, the MMPC elected Medford Police Officer Harold MacGilvary as its president.

(WBZ) BOSTON Police departments in Massachusetts are testing a controversial new weapon in the battle against crime.
They are testing Tasers equipped with video cameras to capture life and death situations up close.
One such video captured a man refusing to drop a knife.
Police dropped him to the ground with a Taser, and the whole incident was captured by the camera built into the Taser's grip.
The stun gun carries with it 50,000 volts.
Foxboro police officers, like Sgt. John Chandler with the Foxboro Police Department, now carry a real gun on one hip and a video equipped Taser on the other.
Chandler was actually shot by a Taser during his training.
"It hurt," he said.
But, he said, they save lives.
Foxboro police used one recently while chasing a car thief through the woods at night. |
