REVERE POLICE

Since Revere became a city in 1915, 11 men have sat in the chief's chair in either a permanent or acting capacity. The chief the year the town became a city was Charles T. Bradbury. John Dyer took over in 1917, and remained as chief until January 1928, when he was succeeded by Edward J. Tighe. Tighe held the job for more than 21 years, until he was followed by Colin A. W. Gillis in 1949. Gills Himself enjoyed a long run as chief, staying on board until August 1966... We, the members of the Revere Police Department are Committed, take Pride, and are Dedicated to the needs of our community in the delivery of quality police services in an effective, responsible and professional manner.
