On August 10, 2018 A White Young 20 Year Old Woman Hailey Angel Allard Was Killed By A Somerset Police Office. This Happened Under Somerset Police Chief George McNeil’s Watch. Somerset Police Chief McNeil Should Have Been Fired Or Should Have Resigned When The Death Happened. What Has Somerset Police Chief George McNeil Done For This Sad Tragedy Of Death Under His Watch, Other Than Saying “SOMERSET MUST MOVE ON”, With Out Any Grieving By Somerset Police Chief George McNeil. Where’s Our Somerset Selectmen, Where’s Our Bristol County Commissioners, Where’s Our Massachusetts State Representatives And State Senators, Where’s Our Governor, Where’s Our U.S. Representatives And U.S. Senators, Where’s The Public Out Cry, Where’s The Community Political Activist And Social Justice Heroes, Where’s The Rallies, Where’s The Social Protest, Where’s The Physical Violent Riots, Where’s The Development Of A Bill For Hailey Angel Allard, Where’s The Reform Hailey Angel Allard????? What’s Her Name, Hailey Allard. Say Her Name, Hailey Allard. White Lives Matter Too!!!!! Where’s Our Somerset Police Chief George McNeil Who’s Playing Politics With Public Safety And Failed Hailey Angel Allard Under His Watch As Police Chief.
Somerset Police Chief George McNeil Failed Hailey Angel Allard Under His Watch As Police Chief And Is Playing Politics With Public Safety. Chief McNeil’s Contract Decision Should Not Be Reconsidered To Extend.
Where’s Chief McNeil’s notable highlights of awareness change to stop negligence made by a combination of poor judgment, inexperience and lack of guidance of officers through the vague grey guidelines they follow in regard to how police respond to non-emergent/emergency calls.
Where’s Chief McNeil’s notable highlights of awareness change from Massachusetts Police Accreditation Commission (MPAC) for accreditation requirements for policies/ procedures in the Somerset Police Department as well as other Massachusetts Police Departments, in regards to responding to calls. The fact is that these policies do not pay particular attention to speed limits, use of sirens in regards to speed and when it is or is not appropriate to use them pending situation, area driving, and speed traveling. This should be less then settling to you as a citizen, driver and a parent of young drivers.
Where’s Chief McNeil’s notable highlights of awareness change from Massachusetts Police Accreditation Commission (MPAC) for accreditation requirements for policies/ procedures which are accredited by (MPAC) pretty much assume all police officers have the same JUDGMENT in how they respond. No EXPERIENCE is taken into consideration; basically to me it appears that these policies rely strictly on professional judgment of the individual. I don’t think any profession can rely strictly on the judgment of the individual, so why are we allowing our public safety personal to operate and respond to calls on basically personal judgment. We give them strict guidelines for use of force with their guns that are weapons, so why are we not doing it with a weapon like a vehicle.

To all my family, friends, and strangers who have supported my family and I through this tragic event.
I feel like I have to express my thoughts and feelings so here goes :
Hailey’s death has shaken my world into places and emotions I never imagined. Throughout this year, I have been learning how to walk, talk and live again. Being a grieving parent has changed me in more ways than I could ever explain in words. I feel as if I’m am now her voice, the voice I was trying to instill in her as a young adult preparing for what I knew was going to be a bright future. Losing all those hopes and dreams I had for her future has been an experience, to say the least of anger, hurt, regret, sadness and multiple other emotions that I wouldn’t wish on any parent/person. With that being said.
This is the first time I’ve ever seen the face of the officer who was involved in the tragic death of my daughter. I want him to know I forgive him. In fact I don’t blame him. I blame the policy/ procedures and accreditation requirements of Massachusetts police departments. When I think about a criminal charge, I think of something someone does intentionally to provoke harm. I do not believe, and hope that this officer was not trying cause harm, but trying to do the job he believed was needed to accomplish the job he was hired to do which was protect and serve. I will not hide the fact that I believe this was negligence made by a combination of poor judgment, inexperience and lack of guidance of officers through the vague grey guidelines they follow in regard to how police respond to non-emergent/emergency calls.
I want my family, friends and public to also know the accreditation requirements for policies/ procedures in the Somerset police department as well as other Massachusetts police departments, in regards to responding to calls is less then settling to me as a citizen, driver and a parent of young drivers. The fact is that these policies do not pay particular attention to speed limits, use of sirens in regards to speed and when it is or is not appropriate to use them pending situation, area driving, and speed traveling. I also want to bring awareness that these policies which are accredited by Massachusetts pretty much assume all police officers have the same judgment in how they respond. No experience is taken into consideration; basically to myself it appears that these policy’s rely strictly on professional judgment of the individual. I don’t think any profession can rely strictly on the judgment of the individual, so why are we allowing our public safety personal to operate and respond to calls on basically personal judgment. We give them strict guidelines for use of their guns that are weapons, so why are we not doing it with a weapon like a vehicle.
Please feel free to share this post. I hope through this tragic event my Hailey’s memory will bring more stringent policies and procedures that can guide officers on how to be safe on the road regardless of their experience. I call on Somerset’s Chief O’Neil and Officer Jonathan Neveu to stand with me in a development of a bill for Hailey, which could minimize the chance of this ever happening again protecting citizen, officers and putting faith back into our community and kids that the police are the good guys.
Thank you all again for taking the time to read this
