波士頓新市長馬丁華殊（Martin J. Walsh）上任第三日，人事任命陸續出爐。昨（八）日公佈，波士頓代理警察局長伊文斯（William Evans），今（九）日起真除。
伊凡斯在警界服務已逾31年。馬丁華殊在一份更新過的新聞稿中表示，伊文斯局長在波士頓警察局中，是一名傑出的領袖，而公共安全是他的最大優先要務之一。
馬丁華殊也說，在行政團隊交接期間，伊文斯是他的寶貴資源。他知道伊文斯的專業知識，管理警察局能力，會是他行政團隊中的關鍵成分。
由於正式的任命發佈會安排在一月九日，警察局發言人表示，現年五十五歲的伊文斯在今日之前不會發表談話。
伊文斯是波士頓馬拉松爆炸案發生時，第一個趕到現場的警局長官之ㄧ。發生在去年四月十五日的這爆炸案，導致三人死亡，260多人受傷。
當炸彈在終點線爆炸時，伊文斯剛跑完馬拉松，準備回家換衣服。
伊文斯還因為處理為期七十天，在2011年十二月被警方和平解散的“佔領波士頓營地（Occupy Boston encampment）”活動，獲得表揚。
麻州少數族裔執法人員協會（Massachusetts Association of Minority Law Enforcement Officers）的領導者Larry Ellison認為，自從伊文斯出任代理警察局長以來，他和少數族裔警員的關係都很正面。
伊文斯是1994到2003年期間波士頓警察局局長保羅伊文斯的兄弟。他在1982年時加入警察局，擔任巡警，一級級晉升，成為警長，先派駐布來頓，奧斯頓，再派駐南端（South End)，芬衛（Fenway）一帶的第四區。2008年從哈佛大學甘乃迪政府學院畢業，2009年他獲晉升為副局長，主管警局的現場服務，還負責特別活動及巡邏組。最近他又完成州及地方政府資深主管證書項目，參加了全國性準備領導力計劃，以及美國國土安全局的行政領袖項目。2009年時，他獲晉升為副局長，主管警局的現場服務，還負責特別活動及巡邏組。
