The Massachusetts POST Commission, which oversees accusations of police misconduct, says the Boston Police Department demoted Deputy Superintendent Eddy Chrispin because he was appointed as a commissioner with the regulatory agencyThe agency that oversees allegations of police misconduct in Massachusetts said Monday that the Boston Police Department has demoted a deputy superintendent because of his appointment.
The POST Commission said Chrispin was appointed in June, an act it says"fulfills the statutory requirement of having an active law enforcement officer chosen by the Attorney General from nominations by the Massachusetts Association of Minority Law Enforcement Officers on the Commission." The agency, established by a criminal justice reform law in 2020, maintains lists of disciplinary records, suspensions and decertifications for Bay State police officers. It handles claims of misconduct like those against Trooper Michael Proctor,"We see no legitimate reason why Commissioner Chrispin’s appointment to the POST Commission should result in his demotion," the agency said in a press release Monday.
"The evolution of both the conversation and advocacy around equity and inclusion in our country has been a long march of vision, voice and volume. And yet, it’s been a march too often plagued by the intentional forces of what can best be termed a 'status quo blockade,'" the union said.
"Like any other state agency, the POST Commission has procedures to deal with conflicts of interest that may arise. Commissioners routinely disclose or recuse themselves from a particular matter that presents a conflict of interest," the agency wrote."Additionally, current and past commissioners have held positions on an agency's command staff, such as the position of police chief, while also serving as commissioners.
