I guess if you spit polish the Mayor's shoes every day the Mayor can forget all the snide remarks he made aboutthe midget. When the Mayor was Alderman and then when he was running for Mayor he used to say that Bradley was a joke and that he couldn't stand him. Remember "Little One" ?Ī recent statement by the Mayor that the "Acting" is "a friend" is the biggest lie there is. Needed a milk crate to stand on in the old traffic police platforms that traffic was directed in just to see over the lip of the platform so motor vehicle operators could actually see him, especially in Union Sq. It must have been tough duty getting breakfast and lunch for the people wearing gold. His arse kissing paid off and he became the personal servant of many past Chiefs. Was a pencil pusher and never made an arrest that was respected by his peers. Never, ever made a significant impact during his dismal career as a cop because he majored in kissing any arse that had gold bars on their collars. Hated sice he joined the force because everyone knew he was appointed because his daddy used to be Mayor of Somerville.Īt one time there used to be a height requirement to join the force but he escaped that because of daddy. ( Below is a little information about "Acting" that was printed before) Is he also going to take credit for only having seven one officer police cars and maybe the Supervisor's car and the wagon patrolling the streets of this city on a nightly basis protecting a population of over 85,000 people? If you see three cruisers at a "call" that means two wards of this city are being left unprotected. "Bradley said in his time as acting chief, the department has spent $1.6 million on new equipment including 15 cruisers and new weapons, bulletproof vests and radios."ĭon't tell me he is taking credit for this, what a bunch of bull! “We don’t ask for green cards, and we don’t care whether someone is here legally or illegally,” he said.

When asked if he has dealt with corruption or malfeasance in his career, Bradley said, “unfortunately, yes.” After making cuts in the department and reducing the sick time used by officers by 40 percent, spending slowed down and a crisis was averted, he said. “I came in with a mandate to stop the bleeding,” he said. If the overspending had continued, the expected budget would have been exceeded by $1.2 million and the city would be bankrupt, he said. The police department had already overextended its budget by $600,000 only halfway through the fiscal year, he said. He inherited a severe budget problem when he became acting chief in March 2005, he said. Bradley said the department has done a good job of recruiting minorities but still needs more women. After a State Police probe, all officers involved were cleared of any wrongdoing or foul play.Įight of the last 11 officers hired by the Somerville Police Department have been minorities and two were women. Under Bradley’s watch, a desk being used to store $31,535 seized in drug arrests was thrown out by two officers assigned to clean the evidence room.
