Gov. Maura Healey said Tuesday that Col. John Mawn, interim superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police,"made the right decision" by relieving Trooper Michael Proctor of duty"The colonel made the right decision," she said after a housing event in Lowell."I fully support the decision made by MSP on this. As you know, it's under internal investigation, and that process will have to go forward. This was the right move to remove him. This is a process.
Healey added that she has"no tolerance for that behavior, frankly, with anyone in law enforcement, with anyone in public service. Again, the colonel made the right move here, absolutely."
