Six months after Boston Police Lieutenant David Murphy pleaded guilty to assaulting his girlfriend at the time in a
Baltimore bar, Commissioner Edward F. Davis suspended him for five days. more stories like thisThe president of the organization representing the state's minority police officers said the punishment was light compared to what others, particularly minority group officers, have received in similar cases. Angela Williams-Mitchell, a Boston police officer and leader of the Massachusetts Association of Minority Law Enforcement Officers, said other officers have served longer suspensions and have had to wait years before officials decided their fate. "There is a big difference in the punishment that goes out to certain officers," Williams-Mitchell said. "I do definitely see that there is great disparity in the department and how they are treated." |

State officials are investigating whether a group of Boston firefighters cheated during a civil service promotional exam in November, taking turns going to the men's room, tapping out answers on their cellphones, and sending text messages to their colleagues in the testing room. The state Human Resources Division confirmed that it received an anonymous complaint about cheating during a lieutenant exam taken by 186 firefighters and felt it credible enough to launch an investigation. If proved true, the allegations could force the agency to scrap the test results and administer a new test. The division did not disclose details of the complaint. But the alleged scheme, said to have been carried out on Nov. 17, was described by three public officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the probe. The number of cheaters appears to have been fewer than 10, the officials said. It would be the second time in less than a year that cheating was found to have occurred on a promotional exam for Boston public safety employees. Results from a Boston Police Department detectives' exam had to be thrown out in July after officials discovered a number of test-takers had learned in advance that the test did not include questions from part of the study materials. That test was administered by a private contractor hired by the Police Department. The latest allegations raise questions about the security of civil service examinations. |
