MBTA Appoints New Transit Police Chief

The MBTA Board of Directors appointed Acting Chief Paul MacMillan, with the Transit Police Department since 1983, as its Chief.  As a member of previous Chief Joseph Carter’s command staff, Deputy Chief MacMillan managed the highly successful StopWatch program, a nationally recognized multi-agency effort to quell disturbances and disorderly conduct among youths on the MBTA.  
 
MBTA General Manager Daniel Grabauskas pointed out that MacMillan is the first MBTA Transit Police Officer to rise through the ranks to Chief in the 40-year history of the Department.  “Chief MacMillan has a thorough understanding of what it means to protect and serve the public in a transit environment,” said Grabauskas.  “In his years on the force, he has demonstrated an ability to build partnerships and reduce crime through innovative and effective programs.”
