BEDFORD – Chief Robert Bongiorno is pleased to report that Meghan Feeney graduated from the Public Safety Communications Academy this month and has joined the Bedford Police Department as one of its civilian dispatchers.

“We are excited to have Meghan join the team at the Bedford Police Department,” Chief Bongiorno said. “Her training at the Public Safety Communications Academy, coupled with her experience in Waltham, will serve our department and community well.”
