UFPO Attended the Dedication of Quincy’s New Public Safety Headquarters

On November 7, 2026, the United Federation of Police (UFPO) attended the dedication ceremony for the City of Quincy’s (MA) new Public Safety Headquarters. The dedication marked a significant investment in the city’s public safety infrastructure and in the resources available to its first responders.

Former U.S. Secretary of Labor and former Boston Mayor Marty Walsh delivered the keynote address. The ceremony brought together local, state, and federal leaders, including Walsh; Quincy Mayor Thomas Koch; Congressman Stephen Lynch; Quincy Fire Chief Gary Smyth; and Quincy Police Department Captain James M. Flaherty.

The new headquarters brought the Quincy Police and Fire Departments together under one roof and also housed the city’s Emergency Operations Center and Information Technology Department. The $175 million, four-story facility spanned approximately 122,000 square feet.

The complex included modern operational space, a two-level underground parking garage, and a new First Responders Park. It was designed to support emergency response, strengthen coordination among public safety agencies, and provide resources to meet the community’s evolving needs.

UFPO International Representative Sean McArdle stated: “Investing in public safety means investing in the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities. First responders throughout the country deserve the resources, facilities, and support necessary to do their jobs safely and effectively. We congratulate the City of Quincy on this tremendous investment in public safety.”
