Former Boston Police Commissioner joins Uber as Senior Advisor
Former Boston Police Commissioner, Ed Davis, has signed on as a senior advisor at Uber Boston, counselling the ride-share service on ways to make their rides more enjoyable and safe for all. From a company release: "Ed is one of the most knowledgeable and respected law enforcement experts in the United States. We are excited to tap into his expertise and seek his advice as we continue to raise the bar for safety and quality in the transportation industry."
From the moment you request a ride to the moment you arrive, the Uber experience has been designed from the ground up with the safety of our riders in mind. While technology helps ensure the speed, dependability, and safety of rides, people matter most to the Uber experience. With that in mind, Uber Boston is proud to welcome former Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis to the Uber family as a senior advisor.

Ed is one of the most knowledgeable and respected law enforcement experts in the United States. We are excited to tap into his expertise and seek his advice as we continue to raise the bar for safety and quality in the transportation industry.

Ed exemplifies the meaning of public service. With over 35 years of experience in law enforcement, serving in both Lowell and Boston, Ed’s career has been committed to keeping our streets and communities safe. In 2013, Commissioner Davis oversaw the police response to the Boston Marathon bombings.

We are committed to ensuring Uber is a safe and reliable way to get around Massachusetts, and we are constantly working on new ways to make the Uber experience the best possible for both our riders and driver-partners. With leaders like Ed Davis joining our efforts, we are confident Uber Boston will continue to innovate and advance our technology that has changed the way we move around our state.

We’re excited to welcome him aboard Team Uber Boston and look forward to building an even greater Uber together.

We were honored to have Ed visit our Boston office this week to meet our team – the folks working hard everyday to help ensure the people of the Commonwealth have access to more transportation options and greater economic opportunity. We shared more about the Boston operation and the various initiatives we’ve launched and have planned to keep riders and drivers safe, comfortable and excited about using Uber.
