Nahant Fire Chief Announces Likely Departure Later This Year

NAHANT — Town Administrator Antonio Barletta and Fire Chief Michael Feinberg announce that Chief Feinberg will likely be departing his position this summer, due to the Town of Nahant’s budget constraints.

Chief Feinberg was informed by Town Administrator Barletta that the town may be forced to eliminate the position of full-time fire chief as a result of its budget limitations, which will be the subject of a proposed override of Proposition 2 1/2 at some point in 2019. His contract expires on June 30.

“It has been an honor to serve the citizens of Nahant as their fire chief over the last three years,” Chief Feinberg said. “I’m very proud of our accomplishments and the progress we’ve made in making sure our firefighters are well-trained professionals who are prepared to respond to any kind of emergency.”

In his role, Chief Feinberg has aggressively pursued various training opportunities, equipment upgrades and other programs that have improved safety for firefighters and enhanced service for residents.

Since assuming his position in 2016, Chief Feinberg has overseen the replacement of equipment and apparatus that had exceeded their recommended lifespans, including firefighters’ personal protective equipment and water rescue equipment. He also developed an annual inspection and maintenance program for the department’s existing apparatus, and helped the department obtain a new ambulance and a new fire engine.

In addition, all full-time Nahant firefighters have obtained rescue swimmer certification, and Chief Feinberg has developed partnerships with the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy and Environmental Police, resulting in a scheduled live fire training, pump operation training and more.

Chief Feinberg joined the Nahant Fire Department after serving as a captain and director of emergency medical services with the Lynnfield Fire Department. He began his fire service career as a call firefighter in 1999 and began his full-time career in 2003 with the Amesbury Fire Department.

“I want to thank Chief Feinberg for his tremendous contributions to the department and the town as a whole during his tenure as our fire chief,” Town Administrator Barletta said. “His work has ultimately made Nahant a safer and better place to live, and his work will no doubt leave a lasting impact on our community.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to formally thank him for his work and dedication as Chief of the Nahant Fire Department. The Town is facing financial hurdles in the near future and we need to prepare for the potential need to restructure our fire department.”

Randolph Police Arrest Men on Drug and Gun Charges

RANDOLPH — Chief William Pace reports that the Randolph Police Department arrested two men yesterday on firearm and gun charges.

BRANDON VARELA, AGE 20, OF AVON was arrested and charged with Possession of a Class A Substance With Intent to Distribute (Heroin) and Possession of a Class B Substance With Intent to Distribute (Crack Cocaine).

Additionally, VARELA was wanted on a pre-existing warrant out of Norfolk Superior Court in connection with an alleged shooting last July.

JALEN WILKINSON, AGE  22, OF RANDOLPH was charged with Carrying a Loaded Firearm Without a License.

At approximately 4 p.m. yesterday, Randolph Police were conducting surveillance in the Rosemont Square apartment complex as part of an effort to locate VARELA and take him into custody on the active warrant for his arrest. Officers later observed VARELA’S vehicle enter the complex with VARELA driving and a second male, later identified as WILKINSON, in the passenger seat.

Officers subsequently attempted to stop the vehicle and pursued as VARELA drove at a high rate of speed through the apartment complex before coming to a stop. WILKINSON then attempted to flee on foot before acknowledging officers’ orders to return to the scene.

A search of WILKINSON’S clothing allegedly yielded a .25 caliber handgun, and he was then taken into custody without further incident. Officers also took VARELA into custody on the warrant and, during a subsequent search of his clothing and vehicle, located a bag containing suspected heroin inside his vehicle, and a bag containing smaller baggies of crack cocaine and heroin.

Both men were taken into custody without incident and were held pending their arraignment in Quincy District Court.

These are allegations. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty.

Methuen Police Department Among Winners of Nationwide Community Policing Photo Contest

METHUEN — Chief Joseph Solomon and Methuen Mayor James P. Jajuga are pleased to announce that the Methuen Police Department was among the winners of a nationwide photo contest hosted by Concerns of Police Survivors (COPS).

COPS, a nationwide organization that advocates for the loved ones of officers killed in the line of duty, recently announced that Methuen Police won the organization’s Community Policing in Action photo contest.

Each year since 2014, COPS has invited departments from throughout the country to submit photos that convey their community involvement. The Methuen Police Department’s winning photo was taken on Halloween by Officers Derek Licata and Matt St. Jean.

The two officers were patrolling on the west side of the city when they encountered 5-year-old Tyler Roy trick-or-treating with his grandparents. Roy was dressed in a police officer’s uniform and riding in a homemade Methuen Police K-9 cruiser that was crafted by his grandfather. The officers loved his costume and car so much, they felt they had to take a photo.

“We were all extremely honored by Tyler’s spirited support of our policing efforts,” Chief Solomon said. “He and his family did an excellent job recreating one of our cruisers as part of his costume, and I’m so grateful that Tyler and our officers had a chance to meet and engage with each other.”

“This photo truly reflects the deep importance of community policing on all of our residents,” Mayor Jajuga said. “I am proud of Chief Solomon and all of our officers for their deep understanding of the importance of forging a connection with our residents.”
