Geoffrey Noble was sworn in as the new head of the Massachusetts State Police on October 4, 2024, by Governor Maura Healey. Noble, who previously served in the New Jersey State Police, was hired following a nationwide search, marking the first time a colonel had been hired from outside the existing State Police ranks. In his new role, Noble expressed his commitment to leading the department with integrity and addressing the challenges it currently faces, including scandals involving overtime pay, internal affairs investigations, and the death of State Police recruit Enrique Delgado-Garcia. He emphasized the importance of transparency and conducting a complete review of the department’s operations. Noble, who has a background in law enforcement and public service, will oversee the largest law enforcement group in New England, with over 3,000 employees and a $500 million budget. He replaces interim Colonel Jack Mawn, who had been in the role since February 2023. Noble’s appointment signals a new direction for the Massachusetts State Police as he aims to rebuild trust and ensure accountability within the troubled agency.
