The Watertown Police officers who will be running the 2014 Boston Marathon, including Chief Edward Deveau.
A dozen Watertown Police officers, including Chief Edward Deveau, will be taking on the 26.2 miles of the Boston Marathon this year.
A year after the bombings at the marathon finish line, and after the bombing suspects got into a shootout with Watertown Police and were ultimately stopped in town, a dozen of Watertown’s finest will run the race. The Police Department received special entries from the Boston Athletic Association, and 12 officers stepped up to the challenge. Deveau has run the race before, but not for a few years.
The officers running (pictured above from left to right) are: Officer Thomas Dicker, Officer Brandon O’Neill, Lt. Daniel Unsworth, Det. Mark Lewis, Det. Lt. Michael Lawn, Officer Andrew Civetti, Chief Edward Deveau, Officer Catherine Welch, Officer Paul Whiting, Officer David Gilchrist, Officer Christopher Munger and Sgt. Kenneth Delaney.
The race begins at 10 a.m. on Monday, April 21 and can be seen locally on WBZ Channel 4.
