Legislation Waiving Residency Requirement to Allow Boston Police Department & Retired Officers to Work Details Councilor Flynn Files Legislation on Waiving the Residency Requirement to Allow for Transfers to the Boston Police Department & Retired Officers to Work Details

ver the weekend, there were 9 people shot and 2 deceased throughout the City of Boston. In light of the persistent staffing and retention difficulties the Boston Police Department faces, Boston City Councilor Ed Flynn filed both a resolution and a hearing order to discuss waiving the residency requirement to allow for transfers from other municipalities to the Boston Police Department. He also filed a resolution in support of allowing retired Boston Police Officers the opportunity to work paid details. Expanding the pool of qualified officers available for detail assignments would help ensure these positions are filled while reducing the need to pull active-duty officers away from patrol responsibilities. In July of 1980, the Boston Municipa l Code ma ndate established that the Boston Police Department maintain a minimum of 2,500 sworn officers. In May, the police department reported 2,102 sworn officers. However, in July, the Boston Police Patrolmen’s Association noted that the Department is down roughly 600 officers. Current policies require Boston residency for at least one year prior to their Civil Service exam date. Amid current staffing and retention difficulties, it is critical to examine whether the residency requirement is now hindering

the ability of the Boston Police Department to protect our city. Boston Police Off icers have worked more than 16 hour days for years, disregarding officers’ personal physical and emotional well-being, as well as that of their families. Increases in transfers, voluntary retirements and resignations have resulted in mandatory overtime for police officers. This dynamic results in both the physical and emotional burnout in our officers, and potentially diminishes their ability to serve Boston residents, as well as protecting the public and themselves. Boston Police needs a consistent influx of recruits to replace those that are retiring, resigning, and transferring to other police departments throughout Massachusetts to help prevent shortages. Waiving the residency requirement could potentially aid the recruitment process. Moreover, in 2015, the Massachusetts State Legislature enacted Chapter 124 of the Acts of 2015, “An Act Authorizing the Appointment of Retired Police Officers as Special Police Officers in the City of Boston.” This act authorizes the Police Commissioner to appoint retired Boston Police officers as special police officers, for the purpose of police details and duties arising from police detail work. This act grants the Police Commissioner sole discretion to appoint qualified retired police officers for one year terms, subject to annual renewal, and authorizes the Police Commissioner to establish qualifications, training requirements, medical standards, a nd departmenta l policies governing such appointments. Utilizing the authority granted

under Chapter 124 makes use of experienced officers that are already familiar with Boston neighborhoods, traffic patterns, and departmental procedures. Increasing the available pool of officers for detail work helps ensure that assignments are filled and do not affect patrol operations. “For many years, I have called for hiring hundreds of police officers due to longstanding issues of low staffing levels, overstretched resources, mandatory overtime and looming retirements. Now, its well-established Boston Police

Department remains several hundred officers below the Boston Municipal Code requirement of 2,500. With all of the increased violence in Boston, and in one of the most expensive real estate markets in the country, public safety demands that we examine any and all proposals to ensure the Boston Police Department is comfortably in excess of 2,500 officers,” said Boston City Councilor Ed Flynn.

Young Riders Take Part in Ollie Kids Bike Bash

here were plenty of smiles, helmets, and two- (or four-) wheel fun at the South Boston Neighborhood House Preschool on Tuesday as local children took part in the Ollie Kids Bike Bash. The family-friendly fundraiser brought together young riders, from toddlers to preteens, for a non-

competitive bike ride supporting the Ollie Team’s participation in the Rodman Ride for Kids. Children rode through age-appropriate courses, while families cheered them on and enjoyed an afternoon of face painting, temporary tattoos, ice cream, and more. Participants either brought their own bikes and helmets

or borrowed bicycles provided through the City of Boston Youth Cycling Program, making it easy for everyone to join in the fun. The event served as both a community celebration and a fundraiser for South Boston Neighborhood House. In addition to the $5 registration fee, many riders collected sponsorships from family and friends to help raise even more money

for the organization’s programs serving local children and families. Participants who reached fundraising milestones were entered into prize drawings. The Ollie Kids Bike Bash highlighted the strong community spirit that has long been a hallmark of South Boston, with neighbors coming together to support one of the neighborhood’s most beloved organizations.

Flynn & Culpepper to Examine Services Provided by the City to Families of Victims of Violent Crime & Homicide

oston City Councilor Ed Flynn and Boston C it y C o u n c i l or Miniard Culpepper filed a hearing order to examine services provided by the City of Boston to families of victims of violent crime and homicide. This follows reports that an individual who beat, strangled, and murdered an 87-year old woman was recently released from prison on parole without alerting the family of the victim. On April 22nd, 1991, during a brea k-in at her apartment in Roxbury, 87-year old Maude Hinds was beaten and strangled to death by 19-year old Dionico Delvalle. The case remained unsolved for nine years until the Boston Police Department was able to match fingerprints to Delvalle, at which point he blamed his brother for the murder. In 2005, Delva lle had been convicted of first-degree murder and was sentenced to life without parole. First-

degree murder typically carries a sentencing of life with no parole, but, in January 2024, in the Supreme Judicial Court case Commonwealth v. Mattis, the court ruled that emerging adults, between the ages of 19 and 20 at the time of the offense, cannot be sentenced to life without parole. This granted more than 200 inmates in Massachusetts eligibilit y for pa role c on sider at ion. Delvalle became eligible for parole following the 2024 court ruling, after serving 25 years in prison. Hinds’ family was not alerted of this and was not asked to present victimimpact statements, hearing of his release only from media reports. Delvalle was granted parole, with the parole board claiming he had accepted full responsibility for his actions a nd had benefited from programming. “Families who have lost a loved one to violence deserve to be treated with dignity, respect,

and compassion throughout the criminal justice process. It is critica l that off icia ls communicate with victims’ families before a parole hearing or public release date is scheduled,” said Boston City Councilor Ed Flynn. “Families have a right to be informed, to have their voices heard, and to present testimony as they continue to pursue justice for their loved ones.” “The trauma of a violent crime is a lifelong journey that extends far past a court date.

Our city must serve as a source of transparency and support for grieving families, helping ease the isolation they often feel throughout the parole a nd relea se process,” sa id Councilor Culpepper. “Every Boston resident, rega rd less of neighborhood, deserves a cit y government that leads with proactive compassion.” For more information, ple a s e c ont a c t C ou nci lor Flynn’s office at 617-635-3203 or E d .

Emergency Heat Advisory Thursday, August 6 through Saturday, August 8 The City of Boston is reminding residents and visitors of hot weather safety tips as high temperatures are forecast for Thursday, August 6 through Saturday, August 8. The highest heat indices for this period are expected to range from 95°F to 98°F with little relief overnight. The City of Boston is taking immediate action to provide heat relief to residents and visitors. During a heat wave, Boston Emergency Medical Services typically experiences a 10-15% increase in calls to 9-1-1 for people of all ages. Anyone can feel the impacts of extreme heat, regardless of age or medical conditions. Some of the resources available include: AlertBoston, the City’s opt-in emergency alert system that provides guidance during major emergencies; cooling resources across the cit y; educationa l materia ls focused on kids’ safety; Boston Centers for Youth & Families locations and state-owned pools. All information about these and other City resources are available at boston.gov/heat. This year, the City has updated its heat preparedness categorization thresholds and language for hot weather events to be in line with other partners and ensure resources are allocated efficiently. The City will now issue a heat advisory if there is a heat index of 95°F for 2 hours over 2 consecutive days or 1 day with a heat index of 100°F for 2 consecutive hours. Additionally, the City of Boston will now issue an excessive heat warning for 1 day of a heat index of 105°F or above for 2 or more consecutive hours or a temperature increase of at least 25°F within a 24-hour period of time with the high temperature reaching 90°F or above.

Patrons are welcome to participate in BPL’s summer programming for kids, teens, and adults. The City issued the following heat safety tips: Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of fluids regardless of activity level. Avoid alcoholic beverages and liquids high in sugar or caffeine. Keep cool with frequent cool showers, shade, and air conditioning or fans. More tips for cooling down at home can be found on boston.gov/heat. If you can not avoid being outside, take breaks in the shade, drink water constantly — even

if you are not thirsty — and watch for warning signs like dizziness, nausea, or confusion. Know the signs of heat exhaustion. Heavy sweating, cool and clammy skin, dizziness, nausea, and muscle aches could all be signs of heat exhaustion. If symptoms persist, call 9-1-1 immediately. Do not delay care. Heat is the leading cause of weatherrelated deaths in the U.S. and can exacerbate underlying illnesses. If you are heading to a beach, lake, or pool to beat the heat, swim where lifeguards are present. Always watch children near the water and make sure they are wearing a U.S. Coast Guard approved life jacket. Please call or check on neighbors, especially older adults and people with disabilities. If you are an older adult and need help getting to a cooler space, the Age Strong Commission offers discounted taxi vouchers for seniors and people with disabilities. Call 617635-4366 for more information. Information and resources to support individuals experiencing homelessness If you see a person experiencing homelessness or individuals out in the heat who appear immobile or disoriented, please call 911. The Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) utilizes a city-wide network of emergency shelters, outreach providers, city agencies, and first responders to assist those in need of shelter. Boston Public Hea lth Commission’s emergency shelters have air conditioning and are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and when temperatures are 90 degrees or above, amnesty is in place for those with nonviolent restrictions. Men can access shelter at the 112 Southampton Street Shelter, and women should go to the Woods Mullen Shelter at 794 Massachusetts Ave. BPHC and the City also work closely

with other shelter providers to ensure that no client is without shelter, food, resources, and a cool respite from the heat. Shelters are available any time of day or night for those in need. Boston Public Hea lth Commission’s street outreach teams providing recovery services continue operating as normal from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays and 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekends transporting people to shelter, day spaces, treatment, home, or places of origin. During this stretch of extreme heat, outreach workers will be passing out water to those who need it. Youth and Outdoor Safety Hot weather affects infants and young children more than most adults because they heat up more quickly and sweat less. The potential impacts of heat on childhood health and development can be lifelong. Children and pets should never be left alone in vehicles, even for short periods of time. If you have a child under the age of 10 in your home, install child window guards in addition to screens on any open window that is more than 12 feet above ground. Falls are the leading cause of injury for children under the age of six. Parents, guardians, and educators can visit boston. gov/cool-k ids to ma ke an ac t ion pla n a nd re v ie w heat guides for children. Shoes should be worn out d o or s , i nc lu d i n g on splash pads, spray deck s, playgrounds, and turf athletic fields, as surfaces can become extremely hot and cause burns. The City of Boston’s work is guided by the Heat Resilience Solutions for Boston framework to prepare for hotter summers and more intense heat events. The Heat Plan presents 26 strategies that will help build a more just, equitable, and resilient Boston.

Experts from Across the Country Gather to Solve Rodent Migration City will convene leading researchers, public health professionals, and municipal experts from across the country to share best practices around innovative urban rodent mitigation strategies

he City of Boston will host the second-ever National Urban Rat Summit this fall, from September 23 to 24, 2026. The two-day summit will bring together leading experts, academics, researchers, public health professionals, and municipal officials from across the country and the world to advance urban rodent mitigation solutions. “Boston is a home for everyone— except rats. We’re proud to host the second-ever National Urban Rat Summit this September, where we will share our progress, hear directly from residents, and learn from other cities,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “Since we launched the Boston Rodent Action Plan (BRAP) in 2024, our rodent control team has been deploying new technologies to target rodent activity, better coordination of City services based on data and analytics, and tailored strategies to eliminate rodent populations in different areas. We look forward to bringing cities together to burrow under barriers, gnaw through nagging issues, and scurry toward solutions for the highest quality of life for our human residents.” The summit will focus on practical, evidence-based approaches to one of the most persistent challenges facing cities: managing and reducing rodent populations. Guided by the annual theme of innovation, collaboration, and data-driven action, the event will help cities exchange best practices and continue developing strategies that improve resident’s quality of life. “The upcoming Rat Summit is an important opportunity to bring together experts, municipal leaders, researchers to exchange ideas and strengthen our collective approach to rodent management,” said John Ulrich, Assistant Commissioner of Environmental Services, Inspectional Services Department (ISD). “Rodent

activity is a challenge that extends beyond city boundaries, making collaboration and the sharing of proven strategies essential. By learning from one another and building on successful practices, we can continue developing innovative, coordinated solutions that improve public health, enhance neighborhoods, and improve the quality of life for residents in Boston and communities across the region.” “Boston is proud to host the second National Rat Summit, bringing together experts to share strategies and advance the science of urban rodent control,” said Tania Del Rio, Commissioner of the Inspectional Services Department. “Boston has emerged as a leader in developing practical, evidence based strategies to reduce rodent populations in dense urban neighborhoods. The Summit reflects our commitment to learning from others while sharing what’s working in Boston.” Boston hosting the second National Urban Rat Summit reflects the City’s emergence as a national leader in urban rodent mitigation through the Boston Rodent Action Plan (BRAP). Launched by Mayor Michelle Wu, BRAP is a coordinated, cross-departmental initiative that brings together more than 20 City departments, agencies, and external partners to address one of Boston’s most persistent urban challenges. “Through the Boston Rodent Action Plan (BRAP), we are focused on improving quality of life for all residents by reducing rodent activity and addressing the factors that contribute to it, including how we manage waste, keep public spaces clean, and limit access to food sources,” said Mike Brohel, Superintendent of Basic City Services. “The 2026 National Rodent Summit builds on this work by creating a space for cities and partners to exchange ideas, share best practices, and strengthen collaborative approaches.” “The Boston Housing Authority is proud to be a part of the multiagency effort to reduce rodent activity and improve public health and quality of life citywide,” said Kenzie Bok, Administrator of the Boston Housing Authority. “In our work under the

Boston Rodent Action Plan, the Boston Housing Authority has transformed our rodent control protocols and technologies, creating dedicated teams that have reduced rat burrows and colonies at a rapid pace. The Boston Rodent Action Plan has brought together experts across our city, and we’re excited to share what works in Boston with partners nationwide.” “Boston’s parks are where residents gather to play, build community, connect with nature, and keeping them clean and welcoming requires thoughtful stewardship and innovative solutions,” said Diana Fernandez Bibeau, Commissioner of the Boston Parks and Recreation Department and Deputy Chief of Open Space. “From proactive maintenance and landscape management to installing new rodentresistant trash receptacles, the Parks and Recreation Department is helping reduce rodent activity in our public spaces. We encourage residents to join us in caring for our parks by properly disposing of trash and cleaning up after their pets. Through the Boston Rodent Action Plan, we’re proud to

work alongside our City partners to share what’s working in Boston while learning new strategies to create cleaner, healthier parks and neighborhoods.” As cities across the country look for more effective and sustainable approaches to rodent mitigation, Boston is proud to host the National Urban Rat Summit as a forum to share lessons learned, evaluate emerging research, compare innovative technologies, and strengthen partnerships that will help cities reduce rodent populations and improve quality of life for residents. “Rats have increasingly become a plague on cities nearly everywhere,” said Dr. Richard Pollack, Ph.D Parasitology and 2026 National Urban Rat Summit Planning Committee Member. “Rat-centric municipal planners, regulators, practitioners, and academics will assemble in Boston for the second ever National Rat Summit to share experiences, scrutinize new research findings, and compare strategies aimed to protect the health of the public and the integrity of buildings and infrastructure.”
