A 29-year veteran transit cop is facing disciplinary action for dozing on the job while posted at a substation serving the Mattapan high speed line and Blue Hill Avenue buses, according to MBTA police.
Transit Police staff discovered a picture of the sleeping officer posted on Twitter last night around 9:40 p.m. and immediately dispatched a supervisor to the station located on River Street in Mattapan, said Deputy Transit Police Chief Joseph O’Connor.
“When the supervisor got there minutes later he found the officer alert and attending to his duties,” O’Connor said.
“The officer, who regularly staffed the front desk and patrolled the station during his 3 to 11:30 p.m. shift will face disciplinary actions,” O’Connor added.
The supervisor did not know how long the officer had been asleep but did not believe it was for a long period of time, said O’Connor, who declined to verify the name of the napping officer.

I would have a hard time staying awake with a job like that.
Mattapan is not a place you would want to fall asleep. It's the "Hood" man.
That’s for sure! The first thing they teach the incoming freshmen at Curry College in Milton is to NOT turn left when you drive off the campus!
