The Barnstable Patriot
The Massachusetts Black and Latino Legislative Caucus on Friday honored Barnstable Police Patrol Officer Brian Morrison as a Black Leader in Massachusetts and John Reed as a local trailblazer during the 2021 Black Excellence on the Hill virtual event.
The annual event commemorates Black community leaders and trailblazers who are moving the Commonwealth forward in cities and towns across Massachusetts. Barnstable Town Council President Matt Levesque opened the March 4 council meeting by recognizing the two men.
Morrison joined the Barnstable Police in 1997 and has served as the department’s Youth and Community Officer since 2017, stationed at the Hyannis Youth and Community Center.
