Irish American Police Officers Association of Mass The IAPOA of Mass was established in 1999. We are a recognized Non-Profit. Below is the link to our website. Through that a lot of information can be found.

We have been members of the National Conference of Law Enforcement Emerald Societies (NCLEES) since inception!🇺🇸🇮🇪🚔 Any active or retired MA LEO are welcome to join us! ☘️ The IAPOA was founded in 1999 by a small group of police officers, it was the vision of Kevin Shea of the Belmont Police. He assembled a small group of Officers from surrounding departments, Ed Reilly of the Belmont PD, Tommy Pratt from Boston PD , Steve Lyons from Cambridge PD , Dave Collins from Watertown PD, Robert Ahern from State Police and Robert Casey from Boston University Police Department. Our mission was to provide social networking among active and retired police officers of Irish heritage, support designated local charities and to recognize outstanding official acts by police officers across the state for acts of Valor, Life-saving, Investigations, Meritorious Service, Community Service, Humanitarian Acts and also to honor officers killed in the line of duty with the Medal of Honor, presented posthumously. The IAPOA is an all-volunteer group of active and retired police officers from local, county, university and State Police as well as Corrections Officers and Federal Agents.

Behind every badge is a human being. Behind the uniform are people who carry the weight of difficult calls, traumatic experiences, long shifts, and the responsibility of protecting others.

Today, the Irish American Police Officers Association (IAPOA) recognizes the importance of mental health within our law enforcement community.

We spend our careers looking out for others, but we must remember to look out for one another, too. Check on your partners. Make the phone call. Ask the question. Be willing to listen without judgment.

There is no weakness in asking for help, and no one should ever feel they have to carry the weight alone.

We are proud to have worked alongside federal and local partners, including the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, to provide vital assistance in this investigation, resulting in a six-year federal prison sentence for attempting to transfer obscene material to a minor.

According to the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts, 28 year old Brookline resident William Kahn, was sentenced yesterday in federal court for attempting to transfer obscene material to a minor.

Kahn was sentenced to six years in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release and be required to register as a s*x offender.

Between June 2025 and August 2025, Kahn engaged in online conversations with an undercover agent purporting to be a 14-year-old girl. Kahn engaged in s*xually explicit chat discussions and sent a photograph of adult genitalia.

United States Attorney Leah B. Foley and Ted E. Docks, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Boston Division credited Brookline Police Detectives for providing valuable assistance during the investigation.

The case is brought as part of Project Safe Childhood. In 2006, the Department of Justice created Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from exploitation and abuse.

Led by the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the DOJ’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children, as well as identity and rescue victims.
