Criminal justice advocates are pushing the state to do more to oversee police after a WBUR investigation discovered some officers accused of wrongdoing simply moved to new departments:
Dashcam video from Washington State Patrol shows Adam Paicos, an officer with the Erving, Mass. police, being arrested for driving under the influence near Seattle in 2018. WBUR investigationWBUR found over a dozen current officers have previously been fired or forced to resign over violations like sexual assault, domestic violence, and drunk driving.
The POST commission said plans to publish a list of the first batch of officers who have been licensed and are in good standing as early as this week. But the commission isn’t releasing the names of officers who were denied certification. Blackstone said it was unaware of the allegations at UMass Dartmouth until after it was contacted by WBUR. It says it removed David Laudon from his assignment as a school resource officer and launched an investigation.
"It would be wrong to say that POST can be expected to fix everything," said Matthew Segal, legal director for the ACLU of Massachusetts.
