Brookline Police Officer Retires After 32 Years

BROOKLINE, MA — The police department celebrated the retirement of an officer after more than three decades of service.

Officer Kevin Fallon was appointed to Brookline police in 1994 after graduating from the Plymouth Police Academy. After starting as a Patrol Officer, Fallon moved to the Traffic Division where he maximized his skill by attending multiple crash investigation schools and ultimately received multiple commendations for his accident investigation skills throughout his 13-year traffic career.

“In 1995 Officer Fallon apprehended a breaking and entering suspect following a pursuit and foot chase,” Chief Jennifer Paster said. “Again in 1996 he used his cheetah-like speed to apprehended another Breaking and entering suspect. In 2006, Officer Fallon was instrumental in apprehending an armed robbery suspect.”

Fallon is credited with always training and passing his knowledge to younger officers without being asked to. By last July, Fallon had more experience than anyone else in the department and was awarded the “#1 Badge” for being the most senior officer.

The recognition was first implemented by Paster in 2024.

“Badge #1 is not merely a symbol of seniority; it is a testament to exemplary service, leadership, and mutual respect they've earned from both peers and the community,” the department said in a statement.

Fallon was also a leader for labor relations, serving long-term on the Brookline Police Union as well as the Mutual Aid Association. The Mutual Aid Association is a nonprofit that was established in 1943 with the goal of providing resources such as welfare and retirement benefits to employees of Brookline police.

Paster said that Fallon’s impact on the community was apparent in real-time, as he received many letters of praise from residents.
