/ Paul Oliveira spoke at a press conference on Wednesday, following his appointment as New Bedford Chief of Police by Mayor Jon Mitchell.
New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell announced on Wednesday that Paul Oliveira will be the city’s next Chief of Police. Oliveira, a 30-year veteran of the force, has served as Acting Chief since former Chief Joseph Cordeiro’s retirement on April 24.
Speaking at a press conference at the New Bedford Free Library, Oliveira acknowledged that policing has undergone “dramatic” changes over the course of his career. “Those experiences, good and bad, will now fuel us forward through the next chapter of police reform,” said Oliveira. “We will continue our efforts to modernize, grow and improve.”
NEW BEDFORD The city s police department and union, the mayor and some city councilors have voiced doubt, disagreement with and anger over a report recently published by a Boston-based youth advocacy group on policing and racial profiling in New Bedford.
Based on its analysis of data provided by the police department, Citizens for Juvenile Justice found the city s police department has been policing Black people, including youth, in lower-income neighborhoods at significantly higher rates than white people. The organization said the findings suggest racial bias in policing.
The New Bedford Police Department issued a response two days after the organization released the report, stating that while it takes the issues the report discusses seriously, it is concerned about the accuracy and credibility of the report.
