Our thoughts are with the Dedham Police Department and Sgt Quigley’s family and friends during this difficult time.

With a heavy heart, we announce the passing of active-duty Sergeant James Quigley. Jim left us earlier today after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Throughout his battle, Jim continued to serve our community with commitment and selflessness.

Jim joined the Dedham Police Department on August 31, 2015. After 2+ years assigned to uniformed patrol, Jim’s demonstrated skills earned him the opportunity to serve as a detective. Jim spent several years conducting drawn out investigations which require advanced training and knowledge. On August 22, 2022, Jim was promoted to Police Sergeant where he represented the Dedham Police Department at the Dedham District Court. In this role, Jim worked with the Norfolk County District Attorney’s Office and court personnel as cases made their way through the court system. He proudly served as an advocate for domestic violence victims while leading the effort to develop a program for law enforcement officers to support victims.

Jim was a man of great character, integrity and intelligence. As a quiet leader within the Dedham Police Department, he led through the quality of his work and integrity. Jim was proud to serve our community and of his family’s past police service. Even more so, Jim was immeasurably proud of and devoted to his family. We ask you to remember Jim’s family at this incredibly difficult time.

Rest in Peace, Sergeant James Quigley.

We believe that having a co-response clinician is an essential component for our department's handling of mental health, substance abuse and crisis calls. We are grateful to partner with Advocates, Inc. for our Jail Diversion Program and encourage everyone to watch this video and contact their local house and senate representatives to advocate for this budget line item as part of the state budget this year.
