Chuckran Auto Parts Owners Donate Ballistic Shields to Bridgewater Police

BRIDGEWATER — Chief Christopher Delmonte is pleased to announce that the Bridgewater Police Department recently received a generous donation from a local business, providing vital protective equipment that will help officers responding to critical incidents.

The owners of Chuckran Auto Parts, 1775 Old Plymouth St., Alan Chuckran, Andrew Chuckran and Richard Chuckran, purchased four ballistic shields, costing several thousand dollars apiece, and donated them to the department.

The bulletproof shields will be stationed in patrol vehicles and will be used by officers responding to active shooter or hostile events.

On Thursday, Chief Delmonte met with Andrew Chuckran and Richard Chuchran and presented them with a Chief’s Citation plaque thanking them for their generosity and support of the department.

“Chuckran’s has been an institution in Bridgewater for decades and to receive their support means a lot to our department,” Chief Delmonte said. “These high-velocity ballistic shields are vital tools in helping to keep our officers safe and better protected in the event of a critical incident. On behalf of the men and women of the Bridgewater Police Department and the community at large, I want to thank the Chuckran family for their support.”

Bridgewater Police Investigating Pedestrian Crash at Post Office

BRIDGEWATER — Chief Christopher Delmonte reports that the Bridgewater Police Department is investigating a pedestrian crash that occurred in the post office parking lot Friday morning.

At approximately 11 a.m., the Bridgewater Police and Fire Departments responded to the Bridgewater Post Office, 169 Broad St., after receiving multiple 911 calls about a pedestrian that was struck by a motor vehicle.

Upon arrival, officers located a man injured on the ground in the rear parking lot of the building.

The victim, identified as Gary Moore, age 53, of Mansfield, was treated by Bridgewater Fire Department paramedics and was subsequently transported by ambulance to Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton. Moore suffered injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.

Through an on-scene investigation, officers determined that the victim had been walking through the rear parking lot when the driver of a vehicle accidentally stepped on the gas instead of the brake pedal upon seeing the pedestrian.

The driver, identified as Dexter McDonald, age 84, of Bridgewater, continued through the parking lot after allegedly striking the victim and struck several shrubs before coming to a stop.

The incident is under investigation by the Bridgewater Police Department and as of Friday afternoon no citations or charges have been filed. Police have made a request with the Massachusetts Department of Motor Vehicles to have McDonald’s license status filed as an immediate threat.

Bridgewater Police to Participate in National Coffee with a Cop Day

BRIDGEWATER — Chief Christopher Delmonte is pleased to announce that the Bridgewater Police Department will be participating in National Coffee with a Cop Day next week.

“Coffee with a Cop is great way for our officers to meet with residents and get to know them on a more personal, informal level,” Chief Delmonte said. “We hope to see a lot of community members stop the Bridgewater McDonald’s next week.”

WHEN:

Wednesday, Oct. 3, from 9-10:30 a.m.

WHERE:

McDonald’s, 222 Broad St., Bridgewater

WHAT: 

Residents, business owners and community members are invited to meet with Bridgewater Police officers to engage in meaningful conversation over a cup of coffee — or two.

There is no set agenda for the event, but rather a chance for residents to meet the officers who serve their community, ask questions and express any concerns they may have.

McDonald’s franchise owner Mark McBee will be giving out a free small cup of coffee to those who attend.

“As a McDonald’s Owner/Operator, being involved in the community is the cornerstone of my business, and I look forward to hosting this event in partnership with Bridgewater Police Department,” McBee said. “I hope that community members will attend the Coffee with a Cop event and feel comfortable to ask questions, bring forward concerns, or simply get to know the officers that patrol our neighborhoods day in and day out.”

The event is part of National Coffee with a Cop Day, conducted in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services.

The first Coffee with a Cop event was held in 2011 by the Hawthorne Police Department in California. The initiative has since spread globally as a simple but effective method of bringing police and communities together.
