Suffolk County Sheriff Steven W. Tompkins was elected to the Vice Presidency of Region I for the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE). Already serving as the President of the Massachusetts Chapter of NOBLE, Sheriff Tompkins will now represent the Region I states of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York, with planned expansion into New Hampshire and Rhode Island. “I am so honored to have been elected to represent NOBLE’s Region I as Vice President and I am looking forward to my work in this additional capacity,” said Sheriff Tompkins. “As I’ve said to NOBLE’s membership body and leadership, I intend to continue the fight for equitable public safety and sustainable, systemic change while examining internal and external law enforcement policies and reform, and I will work collaboratively to move the organization forward as a committed justice partner that will influence the public safety debate on the local and national stage.”
