Massachusetts State Police Colonel John Mawn said, “Today’s operation illustrates our shared commitment to public safety. I commend the troopers and officers willing to risk their lives to meaningfully address those who exploit and profit from marginalized individuals living with substance use disorders. As part of this dangerous mission, we also focus on the companion gun violence perpetrated by those involved in illegal narcotics activity. The law enforcement action today will improve the quality of life for those living, working, and visiting Brockton, and the surrounding communities.”

Ensuring the safety of our residents, visitors, and business owners is crucial to Brockton's vitality and progress. We remain steadfast in our commitment to addressing any threats to our community's safety.”
"Today's successful opiate suppression operation underscores the unwavering commitment of the Brockton Police Department, Massachusetts State Police, and our dedicated law enforcement partners,” said Brockton Police Chief Brenda Perez. “By targeting and apprehending drug dealers and addressing quality-of-life issues head-on, we reaffirm our resolve to enhance community safety.
