I recently heard the news that Captain Michael Devereaux will no longer be the East District Commander. That is truly unfortunate news for the people and East Somerville. In the time that we have lived in East Somerville, Captain Devereaux has been extremely influential in the community and a great role model to the residents of Somerville. After our apartment was broken in to, he continued to be understanding of my fears and remained involved in the situation. He has helped us through a very difficult time and has been supportive throughout the year and a half we have lived here. Not many police captains would take time out of their busy day to walk a resident home because they are scared to enter their apartment, thank you again, Captain Devereaux.  It is evident and apparent in his relationships with the citizens and the work that he does that he truly cares about his role as a police captain are that he is passionate about serving the city of Somerville.  East Somerville will not be the same without you. I encourage residents of East Somerville to advocate on his behalf, for our community will be a different place without him serving as East District Commander.

Thank you,
