Quincy Police Department

Please welcome Officer Brendan McNeil. Officer McNeil comes from a family of Quincy police officers: his father is a retired captain and his brother is a current sergeant -making them the 9th set of brothers currently working together at QPD!

Q: Why did you want to become a police officer? When did you realize that was what you wanted to do?
A: I knew I wanted to become a police officer since I was young. Growing up my father was a police officer and I saw my brother become one also, it is a profession I have always looked up to.

It's time to welcome our newest members of the Quincy Police Department! On July 2, 2018, five new members joined the Quincy Police Department as full time police officers. At this point, they have completed their Field Training and are now assigned to various shifts / areas of the City.

Please meet Officer Stephen Graham. Officer Graham worked at the Norfolk Sheriff's Office for 4 years prior to joining Quincy PD. He is currently assigned to the 4pm-12am shift as a fill-in, which means he could be working any section of the city or even inside the station processing prisoners or answering 911 calls. Here's a little bit of information to get to know him.

Q: Why did you want to become a police officer? When did you realize that was what you wanted to do?
A: I wanted to become a Police Officer to serve the community that I grew up in. I realized this is what I wanted to do after college.

On Tuesday, September 18, 2018 at approximately 3:10pm, Quincy police communications received a 911 call for a B&E in progress on Sherman St. Multiple officers responded to the scene. The caller reported that her home was broken into and two male suspects fled on foot. The caller reported seeing a black Infiniti outside her home prior to the break.

Upon officers' arrival, a perimeter was set up in an effort to contain the suspects. Officers Leuchte and Brokmeier noticed a black Infiniti parked out in front of the address. The operator, identified as 20 year old Lezhan Santos, was immediately detained.

Officer DiMattio was able to interview the victim and get further information. The victim explained to officers that she heard the doorbell ring three times. She then heard the side door shaking. She went to her window and observed two males enter a black Infiniti that was parked outside her house. This vehicle then drove away. She said one male suspect had a red backpack, black jacket and a dark baseball hat. The other suspect was wearing a dark jacket. A few minutes later, she heard the rear door being kicked in. She heard an intruder(s) downstairs on the first floor and called 911. Moments later she heard police sirens. She looked out her window and observed the same two suspects running from the back of her house.
