  • Billerica’s Fall Town Meeting to begin next week

    BILLERICA — Town Meeting begins next week in Billerica as representatives consider collective bargaining agreements for school and town employees, upgrades to the police headquarters, and deeding town-owned parcels of land to the Conservation Commission.

    The preliminary warrant for the Oct. 7 meeting carries 39 total articles, though it is common for some to be dropped from the final warrant before the meeting begins.

    Among the first major articles are Articles 8 to 14, which funds the collective bargaining agreements for Billerica Public Schools teachers, paraprofessionals, administrators, custodial staff, clerical staff and cafeteria staff as well as the town’s police and emergency medical personnel. At the time the preliminary warrant was printed none of the contracts had been ratified, but the teachers and paraprofessional contracts were since ratified “overwhelmingly” last week according to a post on social media by the Billerica Federation of Teachers.

    Article 17 is an $11 million article to fund the renovation of the Billerica Police Department Headquarters at 6 Good Street, which is attached to Town Hall. A feasibility study for the project was approved by Town Meeting last fall.

    “Currently, the Police Department has large areas of underutilized space while other areas have grown and are unable to accommodate demand. Women’s locker rooms are undersized, Shift Commanders have very little space, the briefing room is oversized, paramedic sleeping quarters abut the prisoners, dispatch has vacated the first floor and records are dispersed throughout the building,” according to the article’s explanation in the warrant.

    Billerica has already participated in some of the earlier celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the start of the American Revolution this year. Article 18 though asks for $25,000 in funding from the town’s Free Cash fund for the 250th celebrations in Billerica for next year, when the country celebrates the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

    Article 20 is a $3 million borrowing article to fund the construction of 2-inch water main replacements and the looping of dead-end water mains.

    Article 22 is another borrowing article, this one for $2.5 million for the bidding and construction costs of a complete restoration of the Boston Road water storage tank, and a partial restoration of the Crosby Hill water storage tank, both in an effort to meet water quality standards of the American Water Works Association.

    One of the next major articles is Article 31, which is a vote on whether to deed a list of town-owned parcels of land to the Conservation Commission. The article stems from a review of 800 town-owned parcels this past spring by a team of graduate students from Tufts University’s Department of Urban and Environmental Police and Planning. The study looked at how each parcel aligned with conservation characteristics like wildlife, wetlands and soil attributes, and gave recommendations for which properties are more suitable for conservation.

    “The most suitable properties should be placed into conservation and protection with the “most suitable” meaning that the soil attributes and proximity for wildlife and vernal pool connections without other development existing scored highest of all town-owned parcels,” the article explanation read.

    Of the 800 parcels, just 27 received perfect scores, and in all 27 cases the parcel had riverfront access with a high percentage of wetlands.

    Right after is Article 32, which was submitted by Select Board member Daniel Darris-O’Connor to set referendum elections on Town Meeting decisions as a majority vote. Currently, if a Town Meeting vote is challenged through the petition referendum process, it requires the same percentage of votes on the town wide ballot as it needed to pass in Town Meeting. If this article were to pass it would only require a simple majority to approve an article if it is brought to a town wide ballot, even if it needed two-thirds of Town Meeting members to pass.

    Article 34 is a Home Rule Petition article asking the state legislature to approve an increased age limit for an original appointment as a police officer in town. Currently the maximum age for a new police officer is 31, but this article would increase it to 40, if approved both by Town Meeting and the state legislature.

    Article 37 was submitted by Billerica Veterans Director Donnie Jarvis, and it would opt the town into a provision of 2016 HOME Act allowing taxpayers to include an optional donation to support local veterans when paying their property or vehicle excise taxes. Those donations would go directly to the Veterans Gift Fund.

    Billerica’s Fall Town Meeting begins at 7 p.m. Oct. 7 in the Billerica Town Hall Auditorium. If the full warrant is not completed by the time the body adjourns that night, it will continue on Thursday, Oct. 9, and then on each subsequent Tuesday and Thursday until the warrant is fully completed.

  • Billerica PD promotes 6 to supervisory positions, including 1st female lieutenant

    Billerica PD promotes 6 to supervisory positions, including 1st female lieutenant

    BILLERICA — The Billerica Police recently promoted six members to supervisory positions, including the first female lieutenant in the department’s history.

    Lt. Commander John Harring will now serve as operations commander, while Lt. Commander Frank Mirasolo will oversee Administration. Lt. Tara Connors — the department’s first female lieutenant — will serve in patrol, as will Lt. Mark Gualtieri, Sgt. Dwayne Eidens, and Sgt. Timothy McKenna.

    All six promotions were made to fill vacancies left by the retirements of Lt. Commander Greg Katz and Lt. Commander Ronald Balboni.

    “Lt. Commander Katz and Lt. Commander Balboni will be deeply missed within this department, where they both had a major impact throughout their careers,” Chief Roy Frost said. “I am pleased to see this new group of supervisors being promoted. They have big shoes to fill, but I am confident they will do so with professionalism, compassion, and skill.”

    • Harring joined the Billerica Police in 2001, after serving the Broward County, Florida Sheriff’s Department. His father is a retired Billerica Police detective lieutenant. Harring worked as a K-9 handler for Billerica starting in 2009, at which time he was assigned to the Northeastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council K-9 Unit. Harring eventually became commander of the NEMLEC K-9 Unit, serving in that position until 2021. He was promoted to sergeant in 2014 and lieutenant in 2020. Prior to his promotion, Harring was in charge of training. He holds a master’s degree in criminal justice from Western New England College, located in Springfield.

    • Mirasolo began working with the department in January 1995, after serving the Keene, N.H. Police Department. He was promoted to sergeant in 2004 and lieutenant in 2021. He has been a detective for 26 years. Prior to this position, Mirasolo was in charge of the early night patrol shift. He holds a master’s degree in criminal justice from Anna Maria College, located in Paxton.

    • Conners joined the department in 2003 after serving as a teacher in the Billerica schools. She was promoted to sergeant in 2016. In addition to being the first female to reach the rank of lieutenant in department history, Connors has served as a domestic violence officer, a court prosecutor and a grant administrator. She also served as a supervisor of the school resource officer program. Her father is a retired Billerica Police deputy chief. Connors holds a law degree from the New England School of Law, located in Boston, and is a member of the Massachusetts Bar Association.

    • Gualtieri started with the Billerica Police in 1995, after transferring from the Billerica Fire Department. Gualtieri was promoted to sergeant in 2002. In 2004, he was placed on the NEMLEC Tactical Police Force and later in 2010 trained and certified as a NEMLEC SWAT officer, where he served until 2023. In that capacity, Gualtieri responded to high-risk situations throughout the region. Prior to his promotion, Gualtieri was serving as a patrol sergeant on the early night shift. He is a U.S. Air Force veteran, and holds a master’s degree in criminal justice from Western New England College.

    • Eidens joined the department in 2005. He worked in patrol until 2018, when he was assigned to the Traffic Division. In addition to investigating motor vehicle crashes and conducting targeted road safety programs, Eidens was certified as a motorcycle officer and assigned to the NEMLEC Motor Unit. Eidens is a U.S. Army Reserve veteran, and recipient of the Bronze Star for his service overseas. He holds a master’s degree in criminal justice from UMass Lowell.

    • McKenna began working for the department in 2003, after transferring from the Bedford Police Department, where he worked as a dispatcher. McKenna has served as a Criminal Justice Information Services administrator since 2009. There he managed all state and federal compliance requirements on behalf of Billerica. In 2017, McKenna was assigned as a detective, working in the criminal bureau. He became a provisional sergeant in 2023, during a period where the department needed to find quality supervisors as civil service worked to develop new testing standards. McKenna served in this provisional capacity for one year. After a short stint back in the criminal bureau, McKenna will return to a permanent supervisory role. His father was a captain of the Arlington Police Department.

  • Woman accused of abusing dogs in Billerica released from custody following hearing

    Woman accused of abusing dogs in Billerica released from custody following hearing

    BILLERICA — A Cape Cod woman with a criminal history involving animal abuse is again facing animal cruelty charges after authorities say videos surfaced showing her beating and torturing her dog while she lived on Boston Road.

    Amanda Marie Cianciulli, 36, of Centerville (Barnstable), who was arrested on Friday, has since been released from custody following a 58A dangerousness hearing that took place in Lowell District Court this week. As part of her release, she was ordered to stay away from all animals, including her four dogs.

    The Billerica Police issued a press release stating Cianciulli “used a shock collar in a manner and purpose so as to torture a dog while it was secured in a cage,” and that she struck the dog while pinning it to the ground during a separate incident.

    Cianciulli’s attorney, Stephen Barton, claims his client was training the dog, not abusing it. He also asserted that the woman who shared the videos of the alleged abuse with police had been blackmailing Cianciulli.

    “This was not gratuitous, sadistic violence against animals,” Barton said. “This was (Cianciulli) training pit bulls who had been left at shelters and disciplining them so they could be placed with families.”

    An incident report states the alleged abuse was brought to the attention of the Billerica Police on April 15 when a 30-year-old woman who said she used to live with Cianciulli at 23 Boston Road shared two videos of the violent behavior that she had captured on her cellphone.

    Police said one video showed Cianciulli “holding a dog down and hitting it with an unknown object in the head while yelling ‘how’s it (expletive).’” The report states she forcefully struck the dog seven times “in quick succession” over three seconds.

    In the other video, police said Cianciulli is seen putting a shock collar on a dog that is confined to a crate, while saying “‘guess what? Craaank’ (while manipulating what I suspect to be the shock collar remote).”

    “The dog then begins to loudly yelp and she says ‘Doesn’t (expletive) feel nice, does it?’” police said in the report. “As the dog continues to yelp she says ‘cut it out!’”

    The report later states the duration of the shock was 45 seconds, while adding Cianciulli “did torture” the dog “by utilizing the e-collar on the level of 100 while the dog was contained and not engaged in any behavior that would result in the need to shock the dog.”

    The 30-year-old woman told police the videos were taken a month and a half previously. When asked why she waited over a month to report the abuse, she told police “she was trying to figure out how to do it without escalating the tension that was already present in the household,” the report states. The woman further claimed she was in fear of Cianciulli evicting her, but she has since moved out.

    According to the police report, Cianciulli owns four dogs, all pit bull mixes, including 2-year-old “Millie,” the target of the alleged abuse in both videos. The 30-year-old and another witness claimed seeing abuse inflicted on all four dogs over the previous 10 months. The alleged abuse included Cianciulli punching the dogs, throwing them into walls, and forgetting to feed them. The witnesses also claimed Cianciulli was running an illegal kennel at the Boston Road residence.

    When questioned by police, Cianciulli said all her dogs are rescues and “she just needed to do some fine tuning with them but they did not require training,” the report states. Cianciulli said Millie, meanwhile, “needed a lot of fine tuning as lately there are rules and regulations with the dogs not being followed.”

    She admitted to using an “e-collar” on Millie, using the “vibrate setting.” Cianciulli denied ever punching, kicking, or slapping the dogs.

    After she was placed under arrest, Cianciulli’s four dogs were transported to a veterinarian for examinations. The outcome of those examinations were not immediately available.

    Barton claims the videos the police have depict Cianciulli disciplining Millie after she had attacked another dog. Barton described it “as an act of discipline,” while comparing the shock from the collar as a dog getting zapped by an invisible fence.

    Barton said he plans to call on an expert witness who trains military dogs who he says will testify that the shock Cianciulli applied does not cause pain.

    “It’s not a pain that’s inflicted, it’s a vibration that’s inflicted,” he said, adding the expert witness’ testimony will be, “It stuns them and makes them shake.”

    Barton added the woman who brought the videos to police is a tenant who Cianciulli’s family has been trying to evict for months.

    “This is all about disciplining very difficult dogs to deal with, so they can be placed with families, and a vindictive tenant who wants to stay and live for free,” Barton said.

    This is not the first time Cianciulli has been accused of abusing a dog.

    In May 2014, Cianciulli was arrested after a neighbor told police he saw her discipline her pit bull, “Ace,” by choking the dog with its collar, punching it and kicking the animal. She allegedly did this after the animal had escaped her home on Boston Road.

    Cianciulli was charged with animal cruelty for this previous incident of abuse. Lowell District Court documents state the case was continued without a finding for one year while she was on probation. During that probationary term, Cianciulli was required to complete an anger management course. She was additionally granted supervised visits of Ace, but could not regain custody of the dog until completion of the probation.

    Court documents show since Cianciulli stayed out of trouble for the full year, the animal cruelty charge was dismissed, and she was allowed to retake possession of Ace.

    Ace is one of the four dogs referenced in the incident report about Cianciulli’s latest arrest.

    Following Cianciulli’s arrest on Friday, she was held at the Billerica Police station on a bail that was set at $5,000. Court documents show she posted the bail and was released.

    Cianciulli was arraigned on Monday by Judge John Coffey on two counts of animal cruelty. A 58A dangerousness hearing requested by the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office was held the same day. The hearing was used to determine if Cianciulli poses a threat to the public, and if so, if she should remain in custody as her case progresses in court.

    Following the hearing, Coffey decided Cianciulli is not a danger, and released her with conditions, including not to possess any dogs, or animals in general, and to have no avoidable contact with animals.

    Cianciulli is scheduled to return to court for a pretrial hearing on May 23.

  • New co-response clinician welcomed by Tewksbury PD

    New co-response clinician welcomed by Tewksbury PD

    TEWKSBURY — The Tewksbury Police Department recently welcomed a new co-response mental health clinician to the Behavioral Health Unit Police Collaborative.

    In her role, Amanda Grant will respond alongside Tewksbury police to mental health emergencies and crises, and will work with individuals after crises to ensure they have access to appropriate services.

    “I have family members in the policing profession, so the opportunity to collaborate with dedicated and hard-working law enforcement professionals is a privilege which I am very excited about,” Grant said.

    Grant, who grew up in West Roxbury, has a bachelor’s degree in psychology from UMass Boston, and a master’s degree in psychology from William James College.

    Grant succeeds a former co-response clinician who recently left the unit, according to police. She will work primarily with the Tewksbury Police Department.

    The Behavioral Health Unit Police Collaborative, funded by a grant from the state Department of Mental Health, provides member departments with access to a co-response clinician who can respond to active calls for service, and follow up with individuals post-crisis. The clinicians can also make referrals to community-based services, such as for non-acute levels of care and case management.

    Fully embedded into each department, police said the program provides a trauma-informed, highly-trained co-response clinician for individuals experiencing mental health or substance use crisis.

    Since 2016, the Billerica, Chelmsford, Dracut, Tewksbury, and Tyngsboro police departments have worked to create a regional mental health collaborative aimed at diverting individuals with mental health and substance misuse disorders from being unnecessarily processed through the criminal justice system or through emergency rooms.

    In addition to on-scene responses, clinicians are accessible 24/7 to police for mental health consultation, and available to community members for follow-ups with police.
