Troopers work in conjunction with local police departments and the District Attorney's offices within Bristol, Hampden, Plymouth, and Worcester Counties. The UCU identifies open cases in which a renewed investigative focus may prove helpful, and its goals are to bring offenders to justice and support victims and survivors. The UCU is a part of the MSP's Division of Investigative Services (DIS). In October of 2019, under the direction of Colonel Kerry Gilpin, the Massachusetts State Police created the Unresolved Cases Unit (UCU) to investigate unresolved homicides and other violent crimes and to seek justice for victims and their families. "I graduated from the Massachusetts State Police Academy in 1999 as a member of the 74 th Recruit Training Troop. Upon graduation, I was assigned to the Division of Field Services and worked at the State Police barracks in Grafton (now Milbury), Cheshire, and Concord. After several years in the Division of Field Services, I was transferred to the Division of Investigative Services and worked homicides as a member of the State Police Detective Unit in Bristol County. I was assigned to this Detective Unit for 15 years. In October 2019, the Unresolved Cases Unit was created, and I was appointed as the Unit Commander. As a team, we've also been able to locate large amounts of illegal narcotics which were seized and destroyed." I've been lucky enough to work a patrol K-9 and have found many lost and missing persons as well as criminals on the run. It's offered me the chance to make a positive difference in other's lives. I chose the Massachusetts State Police because I felt that it was the highest level of law enforcement in the state and is a well-respected organization. I serve to protect the public from dangerous individuals, maintain peace, and to give back to the communities that I live in and around. Since, I've been assigned with the K-9 Unit for patrolling Interstate 495 to the New York state border. From there, I finished additional mandatory NESPAC training for narcotics scent detection and was tested successfully by the New Hampshire State Police. At the age of 36, I graduated from the 81st Recruit Training Troop and was stationed at B-4 Cheshire and B-6 Northampton prior to applying for the K-9 Unit. After becoming a part of the K-9 Unit, I was assigned my partner, K-9 Kyber, and finished the mandatory NESPAC training for patrol and was tested by the Rhode Island State Police. "I took the 2009 entrance exam after working 17 years as a machine operator in Westfield, Massachusetts.
