Throughout the week, Brockton Police engaged with students at local high schools and Massasoit Community College in Canton. Officers and cadets introduced department opportunities, recruited prospects, and highlighted the rewards of a law enforcement career through our year-round relationship-building and outreach.
We were delighted to meet students at Brockton High, Cardinal Spellman, Southeastern Vocational Technical High School, and Massasoit Community College’s Canton Campus during our visits, giving them the opportunity to connect with new resources and support.
Special thanks to the City of Brockton and the Brockton Area NAACP for their support.

SHOOTING SUSPECT ARRESTED AT LOGAN
A man wanted in connection with a shooting at a Brockton home earlier this month has been arrested after returning to Massachusetts from the Dominican Republic.
On April 8, Brockton police responded to a report of gunfire inside a home on Oberlin Road. A short time later, a 23-year-old man arrived at a local hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg. Detectives quickly identified Christian Cordero, 23, of Brockton, as the suspect and obtained an arrest warrant.
Investigators later learned Cordero had traveled to the Dominican Republic. Brockton police detectives worked closely with the State Police to track his whereabouts. After receiving information that Cordero would arrive on a flight into Boston on Saturday, April 18, state police troopers took him into custody as he got off the plane.
Cordero is charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (firearm), carrying a firearm without a license, unlawful possession of ammunition, and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a building.

Some kids may forget the morning rush, but they won’t forget the officer who smiled, cheered them on, and offered a high five at the door.
Before students headed into April vacation, city and school police officers visited schools across Brockton to share a little kindness and a simple high five that can mean just as much to a student as it does to the officer giving it. The chief joined in, too.
