Michael J. Wynn has been appointed the Captain of the Pittsfield Police Department - November 28, 2007
Mayor James M. Ruberto is pleased to announce today that Michael J. Wynn has been appointed the Captain in Charge of the Pittsfield Police Department starting December 1, 2007.
Captain Wynn received his Bachelor of Arts degrees in English Literature and American Studies from Williams College in 1993. He joined the Pittsfield Police Department in October 1995 and has been served as Patrol Supervisor, Criminal Investigator, Gang Intelligence Officer, and Director of Community Police Academy. In 2001 he received his Masters in Criminal Justice from Anna Maria College in Paxton, MA. Chief Riello stated, “I am certain that Captain Wynn in his new role will continue to develop positive relationships with the community as well as with the members of the Pittsfield Police Department.”
“I am looking forward to this opportunity and I think it’s both an honor and a privilege to be selected to lead the men and women of the Pittsfield Police Department,” said Captain Wynn. Over the past years Captain Wynn has taking training courses with the United States Marine Corps and the Drug Enforcement Agency, both in Quantico, VA. While part of the West Side Neighborhood Resource Center in the mid-90’s, Captain Wynn developed and managed the Community Policing and Community Organizing facility.
“With his commitment to the betterment of the City of Pittsfield and the dedication that he has shown over the past 12 years, appointing Captain Wynn as Captain in Charge was a very easy decision for me,” said Mayor Ruberto. “Although we are sad to see Chief Riello move on to the Falmouth Police Department, I know that Captain Wynn will do an outstanding job leading our police force.”
Captain Wynn was born and raised in Pittsfield and graduated from Taconic High School in 1988. He has been married for seven years and has two step children and two grandchildren. |
