My statement regarding Patrolman Kurt Solomon. Full text available here: worcesterma.gov/announcement…
This past week has been extremely difficult for our community. As a municipality, not only did we lose one of our own, but members of our Worcester Police Department also had to work around the clock to bring this search to a conclusion. I want to thank them for their dedication and professionalism under unthinkable circumstances. I hope now that the search is over, they can take the time they need to grieve. I also want to thank the various federal, state, and municipal agencies that assisted with the search efforts. Patrolman Kurt Solomon was a valued member of the City community and a staple at City Hall. He lived a life of service and his 31 years with the department made a positive impact on Worcester that will not be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family. May his memory be a blessing.

Can confidently say that the best part of this week was handing out free popsicles on the Worcester Common during Out to Lunch on Wednesday 😎 Thank you to Downtown Worcester BID for having me! And if you haven't been to OTL yet, stop by 7/15 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

On Wednesday, I swore in three new officers to the Worcester Police Department. Two lateral hires and one registry list hire. These hiring options, along with our recent age eligibility increase to 39, are important and help grow our complement.

The Worcester Police Department's maximum age of eligibility to be an officer is now 39. This will have a profound impact on the department's ability to recruit more officers. (1/3) worcesterma.gov/announcement…

With officers retiring, officers on long-term disability, and officers deployed in the military, this recruiting age increase will help us fill these vacancies and ensure we’re able to provide the level of public safety service our residents deserve. (2/3)

You know it’s summer when Recreation Worcester is kicking off. I had the chance to visit its training workshops on Monday, along with our state delegation, to help kick off its summer programming. The team is ready to go and we can’t wait for kids to hit the parks!

I've had the opportunity to meet with and hear from some of our WPS students this month at DESE's Worcester Civics Project Showcase and during a visit from North High students at City Hall. I'm always left feeling inspired and reinvigorated about our city's future.
