Boxborough Police Department Promotes Two Officers and Swears In New Academy Graduate

BPD Promotion Ceremony · Meeting of June 24, 2026

Boxborough Police Department swears in a new officer and promotes two veterans at a June 24 ceremony. Chief of Police John Shevchuk presided over the event, which drew Town Administrator Michael Johns and Assistant Town Administrator Rajon Hudson alongside family members and community supporters. Ryan Ingerman, who graduated the Lynnfield Police Academy Monday as class president among 59 recruits and received the EVOC award, was sworn in as a patrol officer by his mother Janet, who pinned his badge.

Officer Max Bresci, credited with building the department's K-9 program and managing fleet and field training operations since 2019, was promoted to sergeant and pinned by Sergeant Brett Pelley, identified as the town's longest-serving employee with tenure dating to 1997. Nathan Bollock, a department member since 2006 and the officer Shevchuk called the department's accreditation manager — responsible for two reaccreditations — was elevated to lieutenant, joining the ceremony with his wife Melissa and son Mike.
