The Revere License Commission continued a hearing into security and related concerns at MFRP Corp d/b/a The Squire on April 16 and directed the operator to submit a written security plan before the May hearing.

Owner Peter Depiza told the commission he installed an upgraded security system that includes AI thermal cameras in the parking lot, added cameras near the front door, a video display inside to monitor the lot, and additional security personnel. Depiza said all staff have been retrained and are TIP certified and that he will conduct monthly training.

Commissioners said the upgrades were positive but asked for a detailed written plan specifying closing procedures, how many security guards will be posted in the lot, and any procedural changes (for example, earlier lighting or staged egress) so the commission can evaluate whether the measures address previous incidents. The commission did not take disciplinary action at the hearing but moved to continue the item to the May meeting and requested the plan be filed with the office.

Commissioners also asked for a written plan addressing the restaurant’s outstanding balance to the Revere Police Department. Depiza said he expects business to increase in summer and that payments will resume when revenue allows; the commission asked him to put that intention in writing for the file.

The commission continued the hearing to the May meeting for follow‑up documentation.
