A big shout-out to Officer Deion Osei-Sarpong for going above and beyond while on duty at the Davis Hill Dragon Dash Road Race! 💙

Officer Osei-Sarpong while working and helping control traffic — he ran alongside the kids, cheering them on and encouraging them to the finish line.

It’s moments like these that remind us that being a police officer is about more than wearing a badge. It’s about building relationships, inspiring our youth, and showing up for the community in meaningful ways.

Thank you, Officer Osei-Sarpong, for being a positive role model and for helping our little Dragons cross the finish line.

This summer, detectives from the Holden Police Department working with the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force conducted an investigation into Holden resident, Marcelo Gomes, 52 years old, of Main Street in Jefferson. During the investigation, search warrants were executed at his home with the assistance of the Central Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council (CEMLEC) SWAT Team and subsequent searches of digital devices along with interviews with Mr. Gomes were made at his residence with the assistance of the FBI Central Massachusetts Safe Streets Task Force and the FBI Regional Computer Forensics Laboratory (RCFL).

As a result of this investigation, Marcelo Gomes was placed under arrest by Holden detectives for possession of child s*xual abuse material, distribution of obscene materials to minors and posing/exhibiting a child in the n**e. Mr. Gomes pled guilty to two charges and was sentenced to 2.5 years in the House of Correction and is required to register as a s*x offender. These types of investigations often go unnoticed, but our police department is committed to keeping our residents safe while investigating these types of offenses to the fullest extent.
