Boston s first Black police commissioner, William Gross, is set to retire from the department Friday.
Boston police Superintendent Dennis White, who has served as Gross chief of staff, will become the next commissioner. He will be the second Black man to hold the post, after Gross.
Gross was appointed commissioner in 2018 by Boston Mayor Marty Walsh. In a statement Thursday, Walsh thanked him for his 37 years of service to the department. Throughout his decorated career, he s always embodied the spirit of community policing that is so important to building trust with the people we serve, Walsh said. Anyone who knows Willie can instantly feel his love for the job and his passion for keeping communities safe. No matter the situation, his warm smile, dedication, and love for meeting people made him uniquely capable of taking on the toughest challenges.

Mayor Walsh has signed an ordinance establishing a City Hall office that will give teeth and subpoena powers to a new civilian review panel charged with investigating police misconduct. The Office of Police Accountability and Transparency (OPAT) is the last plank in a three-pronged police reform package devised in response to the police murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
The office will provide intake services and investigators to support the nine-member Civilian Review Board and the Internal Affairs Oversight Panel (IAOP), which replaced an earlier board that critics said lacked power to pursue complaints against officers.
