"You can be bitter or you can be better"

This is being sent to out by the Ma. Chiefs of Police Association today. I wanted to personally thank Marshfield for the opportunities given to me and share with you some of the reasons for the choices I made in my life. One lesson I learned from my parents was that “you can be bitter or you can be better”. I like to think that after going through my “bitter” stage I have become “better”. The Marshfield Police Department and the people of Marshfield have helped me make this possible. During these tumultuous times I wish all of you a Happy and Safe New Year and pray that 2021 brings us all closer together.

Thanks for allowing me the honor of being your Chief of Police!

Phil

“I didn’t always want to be a police officer. In fact, just the opposite-I hated the police, I despised them.”
