New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
“We regret to inform you of the untimely passing of Sgt. Albino “Al” Faria. Sgt. Faria was a founding father of the Portuguese American Police Association in New Bedford and spearheaded many efforts to assist and give back to the community via this organization.
During his tenure with PAPA, he also created an exchange program between officers in the United States and Portugal to highlight the differences in policing across the continents.
Sgt. Faria was employed by the New Bedford Police Department for many years until he ultimately retired and moved to Mexico with his wife.
Our sincerest condolences goes out to his family and all that knew him. We’ll miss you Al! ?”-Portuguese American Police Association NJ.
