New Bedford Police Department welcomes newest officer to the force

“Meet Ofc. Taylor Sousa! Originally from Fall River, he has lived in New Bedford for the past 6 years.

Before becoming an officer, Sousa graduated from UMass Dartmouth and was a high school teacher who taught chemistry and physics.

On his off days, he said he likes to stay active, take his dogs for walks, and hang out with his son. When asked what he’s most looking forward to, he said he can’t wait to meet and interact with different people around the city.

If you see him around patroling, make sure to say hi! ?” -New Bedford Police Department.
