Brookline Police
Department Statement
The Police Department and all of our members
are deeply concerned about the allegations of improper conduct made by two of
our minority officers. At the time the allegations were made, the Police Department
promptly initiated investigations and took steps to address issues that were
raised. The Town has a policy for investigating complaints of
discriminatory behavior, part of which requires an independent investigation by
the Town Human Resources Department. Therefore, until that investigation is
complete we will be unable to comment further.
The Police Department has also taken the
important step to engage the services of an outside consultant to assist with
assessing the overall climate of the department. These allegations, though
disturbing, will be dealt with and should not take away from the outstanding
work the Department and our Members do on a daily basis.
Thank you.
Daniel C. O’Leary
Chief of Police
