Brookline police officers leaving faster than town can replace them


Wicked Local
After nearly seven years, Brookline Police Detective Brian Sheehy resigned last month, giving up his title and seniority and relocating to Boston to enter that city’s police academy. 
The Brookline Police Department has lost a number of officers to other agencies in recent years, according to union President Michael Keaveney, but never a detective — a position many strive years to attain.
Sheehy is among seven officers who have left since July 2020; vacancies officials say could be difficult to fill due to national staffing challenges and concerns within the department.
Recruitment struggles
Brookline is authorized for 135 officers and there are more than a dozen vacancies, according to Deputy Superintendent Jen Paster, a police spokesperson.

Brookline Edges Toward Police Reform Changes


Employ "Crisis Assistance Helping Out On The Streets" (CAHOOTS) as a consultant.
Asking police to post more data collection and analysis reporting on its website
Police Commissioner Advisory Committee: The idea behind the committee is that it will help the Select Board when it comes to weighing in on policies and procedures. The Select Board acts as the town's police commissioners, but have largely been seen as a rubber stamp for things related to the police department in recent years. Under the new committee, a member of the Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Relations will be designated as a liaison to help community members who file complaints against police and sit in on witness interviews during the investigation.

The exhaustion of being a Black teacher in a school when you're one of too few educators of color

The exhaustion of being a Black teacher in a school when you’re one of too few educators of color
As well-intentioned schools with mostly white staffs scramble to respond to a reckoning on racism, an “invisible tax” of work falls on too few teachers and administrators like Malcolm Cawthorne in Brookline.

MALCOLM CAWTHORNE, the longest-serving Black teacher at Brookline High School, leaned close to his computer screen and spoke firmly to the mostly white group of administrators in the Zoom meeting. “I’m not cleaning up your [expletive] anymore.”

Brookline holds public hearing on policing


Wicked Local
Asked to weigh in on the differing visions of public safety offered by the Select Board’s Committee on Policing Reforms and the Task Force to Reimagine Policing in Brookline, community members had some ideas of their own.
Residents at a public hearing Tuesday shared thoughts on local policing, often endorsing one group’s recommendations over the other and occasionally hurling accusations of bias.
The committee and task force have been compared and contrasted from conception, with one setting out to improve the town’s existing policing and the other considering bold changes to the public safety model. Both were convened by the Select Board.
