CITY OF GLOUCESTER ANNOUNCES NEW POLICE CHIEF

GLOUCESTER, MA – The City of Gloucester is pleased to announce the appointment of Scott Carola as the City’s new Chief of Police. Chief Carola will assume the role effective Monday, November 30th.

The selection marks an important step for the Gloucester Police Department as the City continues its commitment to public safety, community engagement, and providing high-quality services to residents. Chief Carola’s appointment now goes to the City Council for confirmation.

“Selecting a Police Chief is one of the most important decisions a City can make, and I am confident that Chief Carola brings the experience, leadership, and commitment to public service that Gloucester deserves. I look forward to working with him as we continue to prioritize the safety and well-being of our residents while building trust throughout our community.” said Mayor Paul Lundberg.

Chief Carola brings 29 years of public safety and law enforcement experience to the position, including extensive command-level leadership with the New Bedford Police Department, a municipal police department serving nearly 100,000 residents with more than 200 personnel. As Assistant Deputy Chief of Patrol Operations, a position he held since 2023, Chief Carola oversaw the department’s patrol operations, supervised two Patrol Divisions and associated command staff, and directed crisis response, incident command, and strategic deployment of personnel and resources.

In addition, Chief Carola secured federal and state grants in 2021 and 2024 to support the department’s body-worn camera program and accountability initiatives. He also served as project manager for a comprehensive departmental policy overhaul. His leadership further included the establishment of a downtown patrol station at the Southeastern Regional Transit Authority (SRTA) terminal to improve police visibility, response times, and community engagement.

The City of Gloucester looks forward to working with Chief Carola as he leads the Gloucester Police Department and builds upon its ongoing efforts to serve and protect the community.

Monday’s Sunset

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Walking Monday afternoon, needed to take a change of clothes.  It started off sunny but notice some clouds forming.  Then it rained with the sun out.  The sun was very strong facing the west.  Then a double rainbow, which unfortunately I did not see, no rain and an amazing color at sunset.  maybe 5 minutes and here comes the rain.  You could see the rain in the distance.    As always, the sunsets never disappoint.
