Gloucester lies in Essex County, along Boston’s North Shore. Gloucester is home to about 31,000 people, although it is more crowded during the summer months when its waters draw vacationers from across the state and beyond. Gloucester is a fishing industry hub as well as a notable shipbuilding center. Gloucester is also home to one of the nation’s most famous seafood businesses, Gorton’s of Gloucester, which is known for its advertisements featuring the “Gorton’s Fisherman.” Gloucester’s many attractions include the “Man at the Wheel” statue, the Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center, and the Gloucester Stage Company, which performs year round.

Recently, Essex County’s District Attorney announced plans to enforce underage drinking laws more strictly. Specifically, the D.A. will prosecute individuals (including parents) who host teenage drinking parties. Additionally, the D.A. will stop engaging in plea agreements that reduce charges for DWI offenders. Finally, the D.A. is supporting efforts to appoint a full-time Stop-DWI coordinator, who would coordinate law enforcement and counseling efforts.
