BROCKTON, MA — A cyberattack hit the Brockton Police Department on Monday, says Brockton Mayor Robert F. Sullivan.

"This event has not halted our ability to respond to emergency calls, patrol the Brockton community, or perform our vital policing functions," Sullivan's statement read. "We have no reason to believe this was a targeted attack."
