City of Revere hosts Public Safety Meeting for summer 2024

Mayor and Revere Police partnered with State Police, Suffolk County Sheriff’s Dept., DA’s Office, MBTA and DCR to ensure safety and security of Revere Beach

Revere Beach has been known for its tourist appeal for more than a century, and in recent times has hosted hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. This past week Mayor Patrick Keefe convened a meeting of top public safety officials and local and state agencies to discuss safety and security measures for Revere Beach during the summer of 2024. The meeting included high-ranking officials from the Revere Police Department, the Massachusetts State Police, the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department, the District Attorney’s Office, the MBTA, the Department of Conservation & Recreation and other key stakeholders. Two of the items discussed during the meeting were an updated communications plan between the agencies and stakeholders and a plan to increase public safety visibility.

“It’s important that we take proactive action now,” Mayor Keefe commented. He continued, noting, “This is one of the first, and definitely the largest, meetings ever hosted with focus on a public safety plan for Revere Beach over the course of this summer.”

For Mayor Keefe, public safety is a top priority: “There is always a steep spike in visitors from other communities when temperatures start warming up. With the summer season just around the corner, we want to make this message clear.”

Mayor Keefe spoke to the significance of the meeting: “Make no mistake, we are aware of residents’ concerns. We want summer trips to Revere Beach to be a safe and positive experience, for residents and visitors alike.”
