Many of the officers assigned to District D-4 (South End) were assigned posts in and around the finish line on Marathon Monday. Said one officer who requested anonymity, “It was great to see and meet Kevin Spacey. There’s no doubt a lot of our men and women are hurting right now and it meant a lot to see a well-known face like his stop by to say thank you.
