Super Bowl XLVII is Underway
Enjoy the game everybody!!! Whether you’re watching Super Bowl XLVII at home or a neighborhood restaurant or bar, the Boston Police Department would like to kindly remind you to enjoy the game in a safe and responsible manner. Alcohol consumption is always a concern and, as we all know, too much of anything (especially alcohol) is never a good thing.
