Boston's top cop raps federal terror task force

July 11, 2013 00:18

But while Davis praised strong partnerships among local, state and federal law enforcement at the crime scene and command posts, he criticized communication between local officials and the federal Joint Terrorism Task Force led by the FBI. The Boston Police Department has four officers with security clearance assigned to the task force, Davis told the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee.
