I am pleased to announce that I’m beginning a new role here at Suffolk Downs as Executive Vice President of Security and Compliance. As part of this new role, I will be responsible for planning public safety measures, working with state and local law enforcement, as well as security and compliance with legal and regulatory standards.
Since 2009, I have worked with Suffolk Downs as a consultant on security and public safety. Together we have initiated a code of conduct for employees, vendors and patrons. Our work led to Suffolk Downs earning “Best Practice” ratings from the National Thoroughbred Racing Association in security training, fire safety planning and procedures, and a number of wagering security procedures, including incident investigation protocols.
From my years as Commissioner of the Boston Police Department to most recently working with the track, I know that Suffolk Downs is committed to being a trusted member of the community. In the months ahead, I am looking forward to taking on this new role and talking to you and other community stakeholders as Suffolk Downs explores the next phase of its business development.
