Statement of the Gloucester Police Department
GLOUCESTER — Acting Police Chief David Quinn issues the following statement:
“Last week, I was notified that Chief Leonard Campanello would be taking personal time away from the police department, and I was named acting chief because Assistant Chief John McCarthy is on vacation out of the country.
Yesterday, Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken notified the Gloucester Police Department that Chief Campanello has been placed on indefinite administrative leave, pending the outcome of an investigation initiated by the city. I am unable to comment on that investigation or what it entails.
“However, I want to assure our residents, business owners, and visitors that the Gloucester Police Department is fully operational. The work of the department continues, and the safety of all is our mission and number one concern.
“The Gloucester Police Department ANGEL Initiative continues unchanged. The Gloucester Police Department received a participant on Tuesday evening, and the program remains open and able to place participants into recovery programs.
“Assistant Chief McCarthy will return to work on Thursday and assume the role of Acting Chief at that time.
“On behalf of the entire Gloucester Police Department, I offer my sincere thanks to everyone for their patience and understanding at this time.”
Members of the media have also requested information regarding Sgt. Det. Sean Connors. The Gloucester Police Department can confirm that he has been placed on administrative leave effective Sept. 8. The department does not comment on personnel matters.

Last week in the wee hours of the morning this couple and their photographer got up before the sunrise for what I hope was an awesome engagement shoot. They brought some props like a teepee and lanterns, but what better prop than this beautiful sky and sunrise!

Today’s papers: Gloucester Police Chief
Boston Globe and Gloucester Daily Times- Updated excerpt:
“I have not talked to them,” Campanello said of the administration. “All I can say is I will cooperate fully with what they have going until the conclusion of it. I will abide by whatever they want me to do. And I look forward to getting back to work.
“I think being in a public position and being thrust into the spotlight in these last 15 months, you have to expect this sort of thing,” he said, referring to the time line of the angel program. “You have to expect it will get the attention not only of supporters, but also of people who want to strike it down and maybe take it personally.”
Puppy Love
This crazy pup turned one year old yesterday. He’s a handful, but watching him interact with the boys reaffirms all of the reasons I took on getting a puppy last Christmas in the first place. Surely a puppy isn’t right for everyone, but…even though we had two grown dogs when the boys were both born…I’ve always wanted to watch a puppy grow up along with them. He’s their boy….and he loves them wildly.
