New Bedford Police Union Denounces Racial Profiling Report
The New Bedford Police Union has responded to a scathing report that alleges the department stopped, frisked or questioned Black people at significantly higher rates than white people, calling the reported “slanted” and “prejudiced.”
The report, entitled We Are the Prey: Racial Profiling and Policing of Youth in New Bedford, was compiled by a youth advocacy group, Citizens for Juvenile Justice. It used data gleaned from nearly 5,000 field report incidents compiled between 2015 and June 2020, obtained from the New Bedford Police Department through a public records request.
The report alleges that while just seven percent of the city’s population identifies as Black, 46 percent of those field incidents involved Black people. The report alleges that 10 officers, mostly with the department s gang unit, were involved in nearly half of those incidents.
New Bedford Police Chief Joseph Cordeiro Announces Retirement
NEW BEDFORD New Bedford Police Chief Joseph Cordeiro has announced that he is retiring from the department.
Cordeiro, who has been serving on the force in New Bedford for 35 years, including the last five as Chief of Police, will wrap up his career on April 23. Deputy Chief Paul J. Oliveira will take over as Acting Chief of Police on April 24, the City of New Bedford announced in a press release.
“I am grateful to have worked with the amazing men and women of the New Bedford Police Department over the course of my career. I profoundly appreciate the support of our community, without which our many accomplishments over my five-year term as chief would not have been possible,” Cordeiro said in the release, noting he was proud to be the first Portuguese immigrant to serve as Chief of Police in New Bedford. “It has been my great privilege over the past 35 years to serve the people of the city I love.”
NEW BEDFORD The sign on the corner of Spring and Seventh streets declaring that Abolition Row Park was “Coming Soon” is finally living up to its name as work crews showed up this week and began construction.
“It’s exciting in many ways,” said Lee Blake of the New Bedford Historical Society. “In three months we’ll have a lovely little park there.”
“Abolition Row Park will be a tribute to New Bedford’s history as a major stop on the Underground Railroad, the first free home of Frederick Douglass, and a beacon of tolerance and safety for those seeking freedom,” said Mayor Jon Mitchell in a statement.
