EXCELLENT WORK BY OUR OFFICERS!

The East Bridgewater Police Department would like to recognize Officers Conner McDermott, Officer Bersani, and Sergeant Antonio Ferreira for their outstanding work during the early morning hours of Monday, November 2, 2026.

While on patrol, Officer McDermott observed a vehicle traveling slowly on Bedford Street without license plates. His attentiveness and persistence in stopping the vehicle led to contact with an elderly operator who appeared confused and was having difficulty answering basic questions.

Recognizing that something was not right, our officers continued their investigation. Officer Bersani conducted additional inquiries, and a CJIS check revealed that the individual was listed as a Missing/Endangered Person out of Brockton. Officer Bersani promptly requested EMS, while Sergeant Ferreira coordinated with the Brockton Police Department and notified them that the individual had been located and would be transported to the hospital for evaluation.

Brockton Police advised that they had been actively searching for the individual along with the Massachusetts State Police.

This incident is an excellent example of proactive policing, situational awareness, teamwork, and, most importantly, our officers' commitment to helping people. What began as an observation of a vehicle violation ultimately resulted in locating an individual whose whereabouts were of serious concern to his family and the agencies searching for him.

Great job by Officers McDermott and Bersani and Sergeant Ferreira! Your professionalism, persistence, and teamwork made a meaningful difference.

This is what Character, Commitment, and Community look like in action.

Daylight saving time ends Sunday, Nov. 1, when clocks fall back one hour at 2 a.m. Fire officials remind residents to use the time change as a reminder to test their smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and change batteries if necessary.

Properly installed, functioning and maintained smoke and carbon monoxide alarms/detectors provide an early warning of danger and give residents time to get outside in the event of an emergency.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reported that, in 2024, approximately four in five fire-related deaths occurred in homes where there were no fire alarms or alarms were not properly functioning.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that each year, more than 400 people in the U.S. die from unintentional CO poisoning not linked to fires, more than 100,000 visit the emergency room, and more than 14,000 are hospitalized.

As residents prepare for an evening of spooky fun, the Department wishes to provide the community with safety tips.

Parents should check that costumes are safe. Clothing and shoes should fit properly to ensure children do not trip and fabric does not snag on objects. Make sure that costumes are made of flame-resistant materials. Kids should carry flashlights or glowsticks and wear reflective strips on costumes to be visible while trick-or-treating.

Be sure to set expectations before children leave the house for the evening. Know which neighborhoods your trick-or-treaters will be visiting and ensure the group stays together. Reiterate to children that they should never enter a stranger’s house or vehicle.

Adults should drive slowly and cautiously, especially through residential neighborhoods. If attending a party, have a designated driver and never get behind the wheel after drinking alcohol.

National First Responders Day, observed Oct. 28, recognizes police officers, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics and 911 dispatchers for their service to their communities.

We thank our members and public safety partners for the work they do every day to help keep our community safe. We appreciate their dedication and the support they provide to one another, both during emergencies and in their daily work.

We also remember the first responders who have died in the line of duty and the families, friends and colleagues who carry their loss.
