IN RECOGNITION OF CHIEF FRANK FREDERICKSON
______
HON. WILLIAM R. KEATING
of massachusetts
in the house of representatives
Thursday, November 3, 2022
Mr. KEATING. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Chief Frank Frederickson as he retires from the Yarmouth Police Department after 45 years of dedicated service.
Chief Frederickson first began his extensive career with the Yarmouth Police Department in 1977 as a summer officer and was brought on full-
time as a patrol officer in 1979. Over the years, Chief Frederickson rose through the ranks, being promoted to detective, patrol sergeant, detective sergeant, lieutenant, deputy chief of police, and finally chief of police in 2010.
During his time with the Yarmouth Police Department, Chief Frederickson continuously worked to make sure that residents felt safe in their community and strove to foster a strong relationship between the people of Yarmouth and their police department. Through an active outreach program, the use of social media, and programs like Coffee with the Chief–a monthly event that allows the community to come together to connect with the Chief and the Yarmouth Police Department to ask questions and hear more about the police department’s work–
Chief Frederickson aimed to ensure that the community felt informed and that their voices were heard. These efforts did not go unnoticed; the Yarmouth Police Department was the recipient of the New England Association of Chiefs of Police Community Policing Award several times under Chief Frederickson’s leadership.
Holding an associate’s, bachelor’s, and master’s degree in criminal justice from Cape Cod Community College, Northeastern University, and Anna Maria College, respectively, Chief Frederickson has been a leader in public safety and criminal justice not only in his own community, but also across the Commonwealth and throughout the New England region. During his 12 years as chief, Frederickson sat on the Executive Board of the New England Association of Chiefs of Police and served as president of the Cape and Islands Police Chiefs Association and the Southeastern Massachusetts Police Chiefs Association.
After 45 years of service, Chief Frederickson retires from the Yarmouth Police Department on October 31st. Chief Frederickson has dedicated his career to serving the people of Yarmouth, and I wish him many years of well-deserved happiness in retirement with his children and wife, Michelle.
Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Chief Frank Frederickson. I ask that my colleagues join me in recognizing his career and commitment to serving his community.
