After announcing his resignation last month, Commissioner Ed Davis of the Boston Police Department has agreed to become a consultant with Community Resources for Justice, a Boston human service and research group.

Davis also accepted a fellowship at Harvard’s Institute of Politics, a BPD spokeswoman told the Boston Globe.

After seven years at the helm, Davis will depart the BPD at the end of the month and begin helping ex-convicts transition back to their communities through a network halfway houses, Boston.com reports.

Davis could start working for the human services group early next month.

Community Resources for Justice spokesman Paul Swindlehurst told the Globe that Davis will conduct research and work with incarcerated men and women at halfway houses on a part time basis.

“I’ve been a fan of this organization for a long time,” Davis said in a statement.

Swindlehurst told the Globe that Community Resources for Justice chief executive John Larivee and Davis have known and worked with each other in the past.

Additionally, Davis will work with his next employers’s Crime and Justice Institute which focuses on public policy.
