Quincy Police Department

The Quincy Police Department will increase impaired driving patrols on local roads with grant funds from the Highway Safety Division of the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security (EOPSS). We will join local departments across the state as well as the Massachusetts State Police in the national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over enforcement mobilization and public information campaign. This year’s campaign will urge drivers drinking alcohol or using marijuana and other drugs to plan ahead and designate a sober driver, use a ride-share service or take public transportation.

On Saturday, July 28, 2018, Officer Smith was monitoring the area of 50 Revere Rd in the parking lot of Kelly's Cellar bar. At approx. 12:30am, he observed an altercation between two men. As he made his way across the parking lot to intervene, he observed one of the males discharge a firearm at the other. Officer Smith drew his firearm and gave several commands for the male, now identified as Curtis Gordon, to drop his weapon and show him his hands. Mr. Gordon ignored the commands. Officer Smith repeated his commands. Mr. Gordon, who had his back to Officer Smith, then looked at Officer Smith and ducked down behind a parked car. He then turned around with his hands empty and stated " I work here, I work here!". Officer Smith then ordered Mr. Gordon to the ground.
