Sheriff Bowler and the staff at the Berkshire County Sheriff’s Office want to take this opportunity to recognize a community member who has inspired so many in his community and continues to protect and serve as a local police officer.

Today we would like to recognize Chief Jason Wood of the North Adams Police Department. Chief Wood’s career in law enforcement began in 1998 as a reserve officer with the Williamstown Police Department where he also worked as a dispatcher as well. Then in 2000, he was hired on as a police officer with the North Adams Police Department where he currently still serves the community of North Adams. With over 20 years of experience as a law enforcement officer, he will tell you that he enjoys serving the community members of North Adams. North Adams has been a place that he has called home since being born and is a place that feels comfortable to him. It’s a place that he enjoys currently raising his four children, Haley, Reese, Rylan and Nolan and also spending his off time with his wonderful wife Kelley.

With over 20 years of law enforcement experience, he proved his ability to lead as chief through real world on the job experiences. Prior to being chief, he was a lieutenant where he served as second in command under then Commissioner Morocco after being promoted in 2018. Prior to being a lieutenant, he worked as a sergeant on multiple shifts where he first began to learn the lessons of being a good leader and mentor for the staff under his watch. He also worked as the departments K9 Officer for a number of years with his K9 partner Diva until her retirement in 2010. Through his time as a K9 Officer, he was certified in in advanced narcotics detection being able to detect a large amount of different illegal drugs.

For those that know him, they know he is passionate when it comes to community policing and being dedicated to the many community members. During his tenure as a police officer and now chief, he has volunteered and dedicated his time to not only keeping the community safe, but also helping it succeed. From being a full time youth basketball coach in North Adams, to being a mentor in the ROPES program, he wants to ensure that the youth take the right path and see their ultimate potential in life. Whether he is organizing the Summer Science Camp Family Fun Day, Cyber Bullying Program or Running With Law Enforcement Program, he wants to see the community grow. From helping organize the Brayton Elementary School Memorial Day Celebration or organizing the Life Training Alcohol Awareness Program through the DA’s Office, he always is finding a way to give back. As chief, he has stepped out of his tactical boots and into high heel shoes for Walk A Mile In Her Shoes which is a national program that brings awareness to the serious causes, effects, and remediations to men's sexualized violence.

Chief Wood is just one of many professional and dedicated law enforcement officers in Berkshire County. Many like him go above and beyond their duties as police officers and are truly committed to their communities. Please like and share as we congratulate Chief Wood and the many other law enforcement officers who are committed to protect and serve!
