Magee Police Department Chief Denis J. Borges recently addressed the community regarding the department’s commitment to combating drugs, DUIs, and other crimes within the city limits. Chief Borges emphasized transparency and accountability by stating that the department will continue to post arrests on social media platforms as part of their commitment to keeping the public informed.
Posting arrests is not meant to be slanderous or punitive, but rather a way to provide public record information. Chief Borges made it clear that individuals who do not want their names to appear in these posts should refrain from breaking the law, especially when it comes to driving under the influence, as it endangers the lives of the community.
Chief Borges also addressed any misconceptions about attempts to interfere with the department’s operations, stating that he will not be deterred from doing his job by outside influence. He emphasized that the department will be run firmly, fairly, and with integrity.
Chief Borges thanked those who support the department’s efforts and acknowledged that not everyone may agree with their approach. However, he reiterated his commitment to upholding the law and protecting the citizens of Magee.
