Overview
- Executive Director Enrique Zuniga told attorney Alan Jackson that the Boston police commissioner is not a sworn officer, so POST will not open a disciplinary review.
- The commission said it is re-examining its policies for non-sworn civilian authorities who oversee police agencies.
- Jackson’s October letter to POST and Mayor Michelle Wu sought a disciplinary investigation and asked prosecutors to place Michael Cox on a Brady credibility list.
- Jackson cited a Feb. 22, 2024 FBI Boston email naming officer Kelly Dever and Cox’s official calendar showing a meeting with Dever the next day.
- Cox publicly denied involvement in the Karen Read matter as Dever testified he encouraged her to “tell the truth” during the retrial before she later resigned from BPD.
