This week, Brockton’s Police Department, Fire Department, School Police, State Police, and Brewster Ambulance took part in two days of intensive emergency training at South Middle School, focused on preparing for active shooter situations. Provided by the state, this specialized training allows first responders to operate in realistic, high-pressure scenarios—sharpening their skills to better protect the community and save lives.
Participants practiced critical response actions, including neutralizing threats, administering emergency medical aid, and safely evacuating victims. A key focus of the training was inter-agency communication, ensuring all teams were aligned and could coordinate seamlessly. This collaboration is essential not only for the safety of first responders but also for delivering rapid care to the injured.
Each exercise concluded with a thorough debrief, where teams analyzed their performance to identify strengths and areas for improvement—reinforcing a commitment to continuous learning and public safety.
Well done to all involved.

Let's take a moment to give a massive shoutout to Brockton Police Sergeant Mike Livingston! He visited a Brockton High School Life Skills class and did an incredible job teaching the students the importance of knowing their own names, addresses, birthdates, and parents' phone numbers.
Honestly, it was a heartwarming experience! Sgt. Livingston brought so much grace, patience, and, let's be real, a tremendous sense of humor that had the students laughing while he explained how knowing this information could be life-saving in real-life situations.
Seeing so many students confidently reciting their info back to him was awesome! A big thank you to Sgt. Livingston and the BHS SPED Teachers for being so dedicated to our community and for making such a crucial lesson engaging and fun for these wonderful students. Sarge, your approach really made a difference! 💙 #BrocktonPD #CommunityPolicing #MakingADifference #SpecialNeedsEducation #SafetyFirst #LocalHeroes

This week, we celebrate National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week!
A heartfelt THANK YOU to the incredible Emergency Telephone Dispatchers (ETDs) at the Brockton Police. These unsung heroes answer approximately 100,000 calls a year, guiding people through life-threatening situations, offering calm in chaos, and ensuring help is on the way.
They are the FIRST, first responders—often working grueling shifts, undergoing intense training, and showing an unflappable dedication to their community. They are there for us on our worst days. The word "hero" hardly begins to describe their impact. THANK YOU, ETDs, for your service!
