The DOJ released another investigation and once again, local officials claim they are misleading the public. Local police unions Tuesday rebuked the findings of the U.S. Department of Justice’s 41-page report in which Worcester police were alleged to have used excessive force and had sexual contact during undercover operations, calling the report inaccurate and demanding the immediate disclosure of the names of those involved in the investigation.
The patrol officers union New England Police Benevolent Association Local 911 alleged that the report shows a “profound misunderstanding of the dangers of modern policing” and that it was “apparently rushed to completion ahead of the change of Presidential administrations.”
International Brotherhood of Police Officers said in a letter that the Justice Department investigators “were extremely inaccurate in how they portray the Police Officials and Police Officers of the WPD.”
