Jim Gordon grew up in Whitman and graduated from Whitman Hanson Regional High School in 1984. After high school, the next stop was Mount Wachusett Community College in Gardner to study public communications. With rising financial troubles in the family, it was time for Jim to move back home to work during the day and pursue an education at night from Massasoit Community College in Brockton. Jim's first degree was received in Business Administration, which would guide companies' operations across a number of industries for 16 years.
Every day we fear that our communities will be impacted by crime, that's why we have law enforcement officers. These officers exist to keep our communities safe from crime, and we should protect all funding while increasing training efforts.
Law enforcement officers cannot fully do their jobs without this funding for training, equipment, and the restoration of qualified immunity in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. School resource officers must be expanded for children and parents alike to feel safe.
