Mayor Janey names attorney Stephanie Everett to oversee new Office of Police Accountability and Transparency  

Everett will begin the role on April 27. She will be responsible for hiring and managing the OPAT's nine-member staff.

"I have spent my entire career fighting to give voice to those who are underrepresented, and that’s exactly how I'll approach my work as the Executive Director of OPAT," Everett said in a statement provided by the city. "I have tremendous respect for our police officers who carry out their duties with integrity, compassion and empathy for the people they serve. Ensuring that those values are the standard across the entire force and that any misconduct is brought to light and handled appropriately is OPAT’s charge. I look forward to working with Mayor Janey, the Boston Police and the community to bring about necessary reforms and enhance public trust and confidence."   https://www.wcvb.com/amp/article/mayor-janey-promises-a-doubling-down-to-implement-boston-police-reforms/36106782
