Some officers who get in trouble for things like drunk driving or harassment get second chances at other departments. WBUR found more than a dozen officers in Mass. who found new jobs after they were fired or resigned from another department.
A UMass Dartmouth police officer gave a student a ride in his cruiser to her residence hall late one night in October 2010.
That includes a police officer in Erving who was fired from the Massachusetts State Police after he was caught repeatedly driving drunk, a Rehoboth officer who left the Seekonk force after he was accused of domestic violence and a Berlin police officer who lost his job in nearby Shrewsbury after allegedly posting vulgar messages on Facebook under someone else’s name.
Blackstone town administrator Dori Vecchio said she didn’t even know about Laudon’s problems at UMass Dartmouth until contacted by a WBUR reporter. She vowed to investigate. State lawmakers ultimately established a certification commission after protests against police brutality erupted across the country following the death of George Floyd at the hands of police in 2020.
Still, police in the tiny town of Erving in western Massachusetts hired him anyway in January 2016. Town officials declined to say why the police hired Paicos despite his record with the state police. Then, two years later, he got in trouble again. Erving officials declined to say how they learned about the arrest just outside Seattle. But the police chief later told the town’s select board that Paicos was “not forthcoming in reporting the incident” and deceptive when questioned. The town suspended Paicos in 2018 for five days.last year to promote Paicos to sergeant. Select Chair Jacob Smith said at the meeting that he had “no concerns” about the promotion.
