All the men and women of our organization collectively agree that your office, behind your formidable leadership, has been doing an outstanding job over the past 4 years, specifically as it pertains to enhancing public safety in our cities and towns and taking an exceptional leadership role in addressing the opioid epidemic as well as working to reducing violence.

Chelsea Police Chief Brian Kyes talks to WCVB-TV 5 Investigates: “Police evidence room procedures vary widely across the state”

by

Police Chief Brian Kyes speaks with Kathy Curran from WCVB-TV for her story on police department evidence rooms.

From the story:

kyes-5CHELSEA, Mass. — Each envelope and box inside the Chelsea Police Department’s evidence room tells a story and contains the keys to justice in criminal cases.

Thousands of boxes neatly stacked from floor to ceiling contain evidence that could put dangerous criminals behind bars and set the wrongly accused free.

“It’s everything. The integrity of evidence goes towards the integrity of the police department. So I think there has to be that constant check and balance,” Chelsea police Chief Brian Kyes told 5 Investigates’ Kathy Curran.
