FOUR BROCKTON POLICE OFFICERS HONORED AT THE 126TH MASSACHUSETTS POLICE ASSOCIATION CONVENTION

Four Brockton Police officers received awards on October 22, 2026, for their actions during two separate incidents.

LIFE SAVING MEDAL

We are proud of Brockton Police OFFICERS JOSEPH GOBBI AND JOSEPH PHANOR for their extraordinary bravery and quick thinking, which earned them the Lifesaving Medal. On March 2, 2026, officers responded to a call involving a stabbing and arrived at a highly volatile scene. While the armed suspect was still on the premises, Officers Gobbi and Phanor quickly began lifesaving aid on the victim. Officers Gobbi and Phanor immediately focused on a critically injured woman bleeding profusely from multiple life-threatening wounds. Without regard for their own safety, they jumped into action: Officer Gobbi applied immediate pressure to slow the severe bleeding, and Officer Phanor deployed a tourniquet to stabilize the victim. These early, rapid, lifesaving measures prevented a tragedy.

MERITORIOUS SERVICE MEDAL

We are proud of Brockton Police DETECTIVE ZINHA ROSA-ANDRADE AND OFFICER BRUNO MOEDA for their extraordinary bravery, which earned them the Meritorious Service Medal. On December 22, 2025, responding to a break-in in progress, Detective Rosa-Andrade entered a highly chaotic scene, immediately locating a severely injured victim and an aggressive suspect. When the suspect attempted to use a child as a human shield, Detective Zinha Rosa-Andrade and Officer Moeda demonstrated incredible restraint and tactical skill. De-escalating a critical hostage situation without using lethal force, the officers safely secured the suspect and protected the child. Their quick response and actions undoubtedly saved lives and prevented a tragedy.

Congratulations to Officers Gobbi, Phanor, Moeda, and Detective Rosa-Andrade. We want to thank the Massachusetts Police Association for recognizing them.

This one was too good not to share.

A couple of weeks ago, Brockton Police helped 4-year-old Nylah Andrade celebrate her birthday and gave her a little taste of the job she already says she wants someday.

There were cruisers, sirens, hugs, gifts, and more than a few salutes.

Happy belated birthday, Nylah. Keep following those dreams

A LOADED GUN OFF THE STREETS
It started with a call about an armed robbery Wednesday night. It ended with an arrest and a loaded gun recovered.

Just before 9 p.m., Brockton Police responded to the Montello Street area after a 64-year-old man reported being attacked and robbed by a group of individuals. One of them allegedly pulled a knife. The victim suffered a minor injury.

As officers searched the neighborhood, detectives spotted a teenager matching the description of one of the suspects. When detectives approached, he took off running.

They caught up with him after a foot pursuit. A search along the route led to the discovery of a loaded 9mm handgun with 12 rounds of am******on.

The 17-year-old faces armed robbery and several fi****ms charges.

This was a team effort, from the patrol officers who responded to the original call to the detectives who tracked down a suspect and recovered the gun.

One less loaded gun on our streets.

The investigation is ongoing.

Community policing is about more than the uniform.

As comes to a close, we’re looking back at our First Responder Community Jamboree and the people who helped make it happen.

A special thank you to our community partners, sponsors and volunteers, and to Christine James and 95.9 WATD FM for helping us share the story.

Take a look!
