DEDHAM, MA – Norfolk County Sheriff Patrick McDermott announced late last week that he has promoted NCSO Officer Tom Brady to serve as the Deputy Superintendent at the House of Correction in Dedham. Deputy Superintendent Brady, who has most recently served as the Assistant Deputy Superintendent of Jail Operations, will support NCSO Superintendent Danielle Frane in the daily operations of the jail and House of Correction.
“In his career, Deputy Superintendent Brady has been consistent and reliable, always ensuring that our facility runs smoothly and safely,” said Sheriff McDermott. “He has been acting as the Deputy Superintendent now for several months, and it is my pleasure to formally name him to the position. The House of Correction is stronger and safer because of his dedication to the facility and our mission.”
Superintendent Danielle Frane praised Deputy Superintendent Brady as he formally steps into this new role. “Deputy Superintendent Brady has long been an asset to the facility throughout his time here, and I look forward to working with him to continue to operating one of the premier correctional facilities in the Commonwealth and the United States.”
As Deputy Superintendent, Brady will be responsible for the daily operations of the jail and House of Correction, including supervising security staff, maintaining a safe and secure facility, and ensuring the safety of all justice-involved individuals.
Deputy Superintendent Brady first joined the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office in 1996, serving as a Corrections Officer until 2021 when he was appointed Assistant Deputy Superintendent of Jail Operations.

This needed to happen 5 years ago. But now the real wrangling begins as MPT will fight to get as much $$$ as they can from the state as possible”just compensation.”
I appreciate all of the work and time that the FS1 Steering Committee and Select Board have put into this process. I've also noticed a big difference in communication around this from the town on Facebook and Westwood Wire. This feels like a much different process than the first time around.
Combing the FS1 vote with the general election makes a ton of sense, and in fact, makes me wonder why not do this will ALL elections instead of holding town elections in April?
Just a reminder that you can e-mail the FS1 Committee at FS1Committee@westwoodma.gov with questions/feedback, etc.
Two different votes for the Project?
First one in October for 'site selection, budget, and funding sources' for a new FS1.
Then, a November vote for 'designing, constructing, equipping, and furnishing' of a new FS1.
Seems repetitive.
