Timeline

On July 23, 2018, Evans announced he would be stepping down as commissioner of the Boston Police Department. He will be starting a position with the public safety department at Boston College beginning on August 6, 2018. Evans will be succeeded by his superintendent in chief, William G. Gross, who will become Boston's first Black Police Commissioner.

He was portrayed by James Colby in the 2016 film Patriots Day.

As a captain, Evans was first stationed in District 14, which consisted of the Allston–Brighton section of Boston. It was the BPD's most densely populated district and contained 75,000 residents. This district included Harvard Business School, Harvard Stadium, Boston College, and Boston University. He dealt with a number of issues involving college students, including public intoxication, noise complaints, and fighting. He pushed for stricter alcohol policies during tailgating for the Harvard–Yale football game, refused to sign off on a Snoop Dogg concert at Harvard, which he feared would attract "the wrong element," unless more officers were hired (which led to the concert being canceled). To smooth over relations between the schools and the Police Department, Evans took college administrators on ride-alongs, addressed students during orientation week, and pressured landlords to pay closer attention to troublesome properties. In 2006 he moved to District 4, which covered the South End and Fenway. In 2008 Evans graduated from Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government.

Evans ran the 2013 Boston Marathon and was at the Boston Athletic Club when he was informed by an officer that two bombs went off. Evans returned home for his uniform and then went to the temporary command post at the Westin Hotel. There, he and Commissioner Edward F. Davis designed a plan of action, which Evans took to the streets to implement. Under Evans, the department secured a perimeter around a 20-block radius, swept the scene for secondary devices, and began processing the evidence.

On November 1, 2013, Mayor Thomas Menino named Evans Interim Commissioner of the Boston Police Department. In January 2014, Mayor Marty Walsh selected Evans to serve as Police Commissioner on a permanent basis.

In 2009, Evans was promoted to Superintendent in charge of the Bureau of Field Services. In this position he oversaw special events and the Department's patrol division. Evans played a role in the peaceful handling of Occupy Boston's 70-day occupation of Dewey Square. He served as a go-between for the protesters and the department and ensured that there were no violent confrontations between protesters and police like those that occurred at other camps.

William Evans was born in South Boston, the son of Paul and Catherine Evans, and one of six brothers. His father was a truck driver and his mother was a housewife and homemaker. He grew up in a crowded triple-decker apartment in South Boston, where he shared a bed with two brothers. His mother died when he was three years old, and six years later, the brother he was closest to was struck and killed by a car. When he was fifteen years old, his father died. He was raised by his four older brothers, the eldest of whom was Paul, who is the current Executive Vice President of Security and Compliance for Suffolk Downs. They enrolled him in Saint Sebastian's School in Needham, Massachusetts. After graduation, Evans attended Chaminade University for one year before returning to Boston. Upon his return he enrolled at Suffolk University, graduating in 1982.

In 1980, Evans joined the Boston Police Department cadet program. He worked in administrative positions in the Department's District Four in the South End at night and attended class at Suffolk University during the day. Evans joined the Boston Police Department in 1982. He spent five years as a patrolman, during which time he was awarded the BPD's Medal of Honor for his role in apprehending an armed robbery suspect following a high-speed chase. In 1987 he scored the highest grade in his class on the Sergeant's exam. Five years later he earned one of the highest grades on the Lieutenant's test and in 1997 he received the highest grade in his class on the Captain's exam.
