Col. Christopher Mason Noble is set to be sworn in as the new head of the Massachusetts State Police on Friday. Noble was appointed to the position by Governor Charlie Baker after a nationwide search for a new leader of the department. He will replace outgoing Col. Kerry A. Gilpin, who announced her retirement earlier this year.
Noble, who has over 30 years of experience in law enforcement, most recently served as the Chief of Police in Greenfield, Massachusetts. Prior to that, he worked for the Hartford Police Department in Connecticut. He is known for his strong leadership skills and commitment to community policing.
During his tenure as Chief of Police in Greenfield, Noble implemented several successful initiatives to combat crime and build positive relationships with the community. He also oversaw a significant reduction in crime rates in the city.
As the new head of the Massachusetts State Police, Noble will be tasked with leading the department through a period of transition and reform. The department has faced numerous challenges in recent years, including scandals involving overtime abuse and corruption. Noble has stated that he is committed to restoring public trust in the State Police and ensuring that officers uphold the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.
Noble’s appointment has been met with praise from law enforcement officials and community leaders across the state. Many are optimistic that his leadership will bring about positive changes within the department and improve relationships with the public.
